Everything looks sticky and nobody says "vampire" in the trailer for Disney+ and Hulu's City Of Blood
The German import series sees two sisters try to survive in a Berlin secretly run by bloodsuckers.
Hulu and Disney+ have released a trailer for their new German import series City Of Blood, a vampire show where the word "vampire" remains conspicuously absent. The series, based on Reinhard Kleist and Tobias O. Meissner's graphic novel Berlinoir, is set in a city of blood and features Dracula-infested Berlin. Two sisters, played by Lea Drinda and Soma Pysall, uncover that vampires control the city.
The show depicts a world where dealing blood is a means of survival, and wealthy individuals are surrounded by copious amounts of the vampire's sustenance. The marketing copy for the show, however, raises questions about the true nature of the monsters, asking if humans or vampires pose a greater threat. Despite its unique approach, City Of Blood appears to be a curious choice for Disney+, potentially reflecting the streamer's efforts to merge with Hulu. The series is set to launch on both platforms on September 16.
