Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa Gets HBO Max Pilot Order For ‘The Shelley Society’ Gothic Drama, Teams With Berlanti Prods. For ‘The Brides’ Dracula Reimagining – Deadline

HBO Max has ordered a pilot and an additional script for The Shelley Society, a mash-up of gothic horror and teen romance featuring young Mary Shelley, which Aguirre-Sacasa co-created with Riverdale writers Tessa Leigh Williams and James DeWille.

Written/executive produced by Aguirre-Sacasa, DeWille and Williams, The Shelley Society is described as a Victorian X-Files. Young author Mary Shelley leads a band of Romantic outlaws—among them, her lovers Percy and Lord Byron—against all manner of supernatural threats and monsters…including Frankenstein author Shelley’s own iconic Creature. Aguirre-Sacasa is also set as showrunner.

Fairly interested, but are we just... NEVER going to get anymore Afterlife with Archie or Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics?

Anyway, I'll be curious to see how this is cast.
