NBC to Develop Series Based on ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER Character

NBC is developing a series based on a "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" character, according to Variety.

Based on a character from the novel, the potential series, titled, "The Last American Vampire," is described as a supernatural thriller that follows Abby, a young analyst, as she's recruited into a special division of the FBI that investigates unique and mysterious cases. While working on her first case tracking a string of bizarre murders she discovers her new enigmatic partner also happens to be a 500-year-old vampire.

NBC gave the project a script commitment with a penalty attached. The show will be written and executive produced by Terry Matalas. The novel's author, Seth Grahame-Smith will also executive produce alongside David Katenberg. 20th Century FOX Television will produce along with KatzSmith Productions.

Matalas previously co-created the "12 Monkeys" TV series. His other credits include "Nikita," "Terra Nova," and "Star Trek: Enterprise."

If the project moves forward, it would be latest adaptation of the novel, after the 2012 film version of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
