Still without a date announced, the series will premiere in August on EPIX.
Adrien Brody (“Predators”) will play Captain Charles Boone. Emily Hampshire (“Schitt’s Creek”) will play an original character, Rebecca Morgan.
The plot is set in the 1850s and follows Captain Charles Boone, who moves with his three children to his ancestor’s home in the seemingly sleepy little town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine, after his wife’s death at sea. However, Charles will soon have to face the secrets of his family’s sordid history and fight to end the darkness that has plagued the Boones for generations.
Peter Filardi and Jason Filardi will be the showrunners.
The short story “The Lot of Jerusalem” was first published in 1978, in a collection called “The Night Shift“, which brings together 20 different stories. Years later, it was reissued as part of an illustrated edition of “Hour of the Vampire”, being seen as a sort of prequel to classic vampire work.
