Diablo Cody’s Sexy Vampire TV Series ‘Fang Fiction’ is Here to Suck You In!

The award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, known for movies like “Juno” and horror favorites such as “Jennifer’s Body” and “Lisa Frankenstein,” has taken on her latest venture that seems perfectly suited to her style. In the mid-2000s, there was a surge of vampire-themed media with series like “Twilight,” “True Blood,” and “The Vampire Diaries” taking over pop culture. Lately, there’s been a renewed interest in these creatures of the night, as evidenced by the ongoing conversations about movies like “Nosferatu” and “Sinners.” Given that vampires are back in vogue, it seems possible that Diablo Cody could be working on the next big vampire intellectual property.

According to Variety, the well-loved book “Fang Fiction” by author Kate Stayman-London is set to be adapted into a television series. Diablo Cody has agreed to serve as executive producer for Madison Wells. Stayman-London herself will adapt her book, and Cody is actively involved in script development. Soon, Madison Wells plans to approach potential buyers with the project. In reference to the adaptation, Cody commented:

I was immediately captivated by ‘Fang Fiction’ due to the promise of ‘sexy vampires’. However, I wasn’t prepared for how utterly enchanted and immersed I would become with this extraordinary book. I can hardly wait to assist in sharing Kate Stayman-London’s vision with audiences everywhere, bringing joy to many!”

“From the moment I heard ‘sexy vampires’ in ‘Fang Fiction’, I was hooked. But what I didn’t anticipate was the sheer delight and escapism this fantastic book would offer me. I can hardly contain my excitement to help bring Kate Stayman-London’s vision to life, bringing happiness to viewers everywhere.

What is ‘Fang Fiction’ About?

2024 saw the publication of “Fang Fiction,” a captivating tale centered around Tess Rosenbloom, a survivor of assault and former graduate student who inexplicably ends up in the world of her beloved vampire book series, “Blood Feud.” This realm proves to be real, thrusting Tess into a perilous environment brimming with monsters. As if that wasn’t enough, she finds herself drawn to a vampire, none other than the alluring antagonist from the books. After its release, this novel gained massive popularity on TikTok and was featured in Entertainment Weekly’s list of top romance novels for fall 2024. In an exciting turn of events, Madison Wells, head of television and film, Rachel Shane, has expressed interest in adapting the book into a screenplay.

Kate Stayman-London is a unique and daring author whose captivating, sensual storytelling instantly won us over. We are deeply appreciative of our team, particularly Amanda Morgan Palmer, for their unwavering enthusiasm that facilitated this partnership with an exceptionally gifted narrator. This collaboration underscores Madison Wells’ dedication to showcasing powerful women in the entertainment industry.

Although she won an Academy Award for the film “Juno”, Cody has primarily become known for creating feminist horror comedies such as “Jennifer’s Body” and “Lisa Frankenstein”. Although neither movie was a commercial success, they gained devoted fanbases and demonstrated her ability to bring a fresh take to traditional monster themes. Given her previous work with demons and Frankenstein, it seems fitting that she would next venture into a vampire story. The playful narrative structure of “Fang Fiction” appears to be the type of storytelling that Cody excels at, and one that could thrive in the period following the popularity of “Twilight” and “Vampire Diaries”.

It seems that Cody is supporting Kate Stayman-London in adapting her own story for the screen, a move that could delight fans of the books. The pitch for “Fang Fiction” has caught the interest of many streamers and networks, especially since there’s been an increase in greenlights for TV series based on TikTok-popular books like “Fourth Wing” on Prime Video and “Quicksilver” on Netflix. Let’s hope that “Fang Fiction” surpasses the criticism Cody faced with his last attempt at launching a TV series, the reimagining of “Powerpuff Girls,” known as “Powerpuff,” which was even rejected by The CW.
