And by the time they were, Plec figured she was done with vampire shows.
Although Plec was too busy at the time, she never gave up on the idea.
Those two women, Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir, will be played by Sisi Stringer and Daniela Nieves.
Rose is a vampire-human hybrid knows as a Dhampir, and Lissa is a Royal Moroi vampire.
And as Plec mentions, life will throw them a curveball that could affect their lifelong friendship.
Social hierarchy and class both play a large part in this vampire story, complete with a royal court.
“I thought, ‘This is modern-dayBridgertonwith vampires,'” she adds.
“Who’s not going to want to see that?”
