Hulu has bought both the show itself, as well as rights for an American remake of successful Israeli vampire series 'Juda'. The original series will show in the first quarter of of the streaming service's lineup. It is written and stars Zion Baruch,
Andreas Lemos, vice president of North America sales and acquisitions for Banijay Rights had this to say:
“With Hulu as our U.S. broadcast partners for this much-buzzed-about, genre-busting show, we will have a prestigious and accessible platform for American audiences to discover one of the most original series of recent times, melding classic sci-fi, horror and noir elements into a wildly entertaining hybrid.”
It tells the story of Juda, a gambler who borrows money from the Mafia to gamble in Romania. He ends up getting robbed and then is bitten by a seductive vampire, who winds up on her own path to mortality because she has unwittingly broken a rule of her ancestors by drinking Jewish blood.
