DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
script
DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, August 2024) In the coming-of-age series adaptation, the titular character is a teen named Bobby Bates. With the help of fellow teens Charisma and her weird sister Olive, Bobby re-enters mainstream society after living in seclusion on the outskirts in the remnants of a long-dissipated carnival. When Bobby enrolls at Cypressville High, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery while attempting to find his place among his new peers and society and trying to solve a mystery bubbling up from the Florida swamps. All that while rocking his half-bat-like features like sharp teeth and pointy ears - oh, there's also the small matter of his need for human blood. Think, Edward Scissorhands meets Nightmare Alley-ish.
