EXCLUSIVE: Awesomeness has begun development on Blue Bloods (wt), a series adaptation of Melissa de la Cruz’s best-selling book series of the same name, with Jacquie Walters set to write and executive produce.
Author Melissa de la Cruz releases final book in young adult series 'Blue Bloods'
Other executive producers on the series include Richard Abate (Manhunt, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi) and Katie Newman Krandel for 3 Arts Entertainment, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Spiderwick Chronicles), Jeremy Bell, Sarah Jones and DJ Goldberg for The Gotham Group and De La Cruz.
In the Blue Bloods universe, New York City is secretly ruled by an elite class of immortal vampires. But when one of their own goes missing, they face an existential threat: an ancient, evil race of vampires has returned. Amidst this chaos, 17-year-old Sky, the first half-human, half-vampire, faces her own challenges as a newcomer to the prestigious Duchesne Institute. Formerly banished from the Blue Bloods, Sky must now find her place in society—and as she does, she begins to uncover a rising evil that threatens the very existence of The Coven. The question is: will she be the savior of vampire society or its downfall?
In a statement about the project, De La Cruz said, "I am so excited to bring my beloved Blue Bloods series to life with an amazing team at Awesomeness, Gotham, 3Arts and our incredible writer Jacquie Walters who deeply understands my story and characters. I can't wait to finally see them on screen!!! LFG!!!"
