Halsey Developing New Dark Comedy Series 'Bloodlust' For Amazon Prime

American singer-songwriter and actor Halsey is adding screenwriter to their expansive resume (Halsey uses she/they pronouns), with Variety reporting that she’s working on a new dark comedy television series called Bloodlust.

The series is currently in development at Amazon Prime Video, with Halsey (real name Ashley Frangipane) lined up as the project's creator, writer, and executive producer. While she’s appeared in films such as A Star Is Born and Sing 2 (and shared films for her albums), the Without Me singer isn’t set to star in the series.

Variety reports that Halsey isn’t in the project alone. The X film series director Ti West (who’s also engaged to Aussie EDM star Alison Wonderland) is attached to direct and executive produce the project. Other executive producers include Mark Friedman (Severance) and Halsey’s manager, Anthony Li. Amazon MGM Studios will produce the series.

No information about the series’ plotlines or lead actors has been revealed.

In October, Halsey released her fifth album, The Great Impersonator, via Columbia Records.

A self-described “confessional concept album,” Halsey explored their musical identity and health battles through the lens of different time periods, such as the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s. On the album, she mines influences from country to nu-metal.

Halsey wrote songs inspired by different genres and decades, referencing Fleetwood Mac, Bjork, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, Britney Spears, Evanescence, Deftones, and The Postal Service, among others. She displayed the process behind the album with a photo series on Instagram, where they impersonated the artists who inspired the songs.

In June, Halsey kickstarted the Great Impersonator album campaign with the tender, heartbreaking single, The End.

A song about their diagnoses of lupus and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, Halsey assured fans that she’s in remission.

The Great Impersonator is the follow-up to Halsey’s 2021 album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, produced by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
