No news, but stuff’s still happening, more importantly, Alexander Vlahos is… maybe wants to be involved??! Plz yes! TBH I’d love to see him audition for the VC TV series!
^this thumbs up from Al Bundy is probs closest to my feelings bc (at least out of its original context) it appears to be approval, begrudging approval, maybe a little sarcastic, but you can tell that he IS glad, too, he’s so tired, but always open to the good in the world… he’s waited a long time, he’s acclimated to waiting.*
IDK much about Hulu and the shows/movies they have, just that they’re often sending out free trial offers and like, it reminds me of drug dealers trying to get new ppl hooked in with free samples, which is standard operating procedure but still makes me wary.
I am, as always, and forever shall be, ~#cautiously optimistic~, and I am glad that someone who’s kind of a big deal showed interest enough that it seems like things are in motion again!
*(As a side note: I always loved ‘Married… With Children,’ and I think it was partly bc as bitter and grumpy as Al was, and as mean-spirited as he could behave at times, deep down, you could tell he loved his wife, family, neighbors, and friends, and had made some peace with his life choices. Maybe I was projecting onto him, but anyway, this was a formative character for me.)(Which is my long-winded example of smne who may appear to be just another unlikable/problematic character in a sitcom, but I found smtg good and substantive in him, which will hopefully be the case with the new VC TV series with all the problematic characters/stuff in it).

2) Also, fanart about it, by Miriam Meza (link below cut):
3) Aaaand as per Hulu as a content creator/provider:
“According to The Hollywood Reporter, which was the first to announce the news, Anne and Christopher will executive produce the Vampire Chronicles series with David Kanter and Steve Golin.
Hulu received a record 27 Primetime Emmy nominations when the Television Academy made the announcement last week. That includes mentions of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Looming Tower, I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman, and March of the Penguins 2: The Next Step.”
– Entertainment Weekly, July 17, 2018 (link below cut). This is heartening info, I’d say 😉, even though I don’t watch those shows or know about Kanter or Golin. Emmy nominations on those shows are hopefully a good sign.
