The TV adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s “Wild Cards” novel series is moving from Hulu to Peacock.
The series deals with an alien pathogen being released over Manhattan in 1946, altering the course of human history as the virus rewrites DNA – granting a few superpowers, leaving the majority repulsive deformities. Over two dozen books in the series have been published.
Andrew Miller, who had been attached to write and executive produce the project at Hulu, is no longer involved and a new writer is now being sought.
Hulu was originally planning to develop at least two shows set within that universe, with Miller overseeing both shows. Martin will executive produce along with Melinda Snodgrass and Vince Gerardis.
