Fox Picks Up Two Dramas About the Undead

The Fox TV network has picked up a pair of drama projects that touch upon stories of the undead, Variety reported. Amy After Dark, from writer John Scott Shepherd and director Todd Holland, focuses on a young New York attorney who discovers she's a vampire. The other, an untitled drama from Allan Loeb and Christian Taylor, revolves around a police detective who is secretly centuries old. Both are script deals with penalties attached.

Shepherd, who is writing Amy After Dark, created and executive-produced ABC's short-lived drama The Days. Holland, who executive-produced and directed Fox's Wonderfalls, won an Emmy for his work on Malcolm in the Middle.

Taylor's credits include ABC's supernatural drama Miracles.
