Released back in 2017, the female-fronted horror anthology XX was comprised of segments directed by Roxanne Benjamin (Body at Brighton Rock), Karyn Kusama (The Invitation), St. Vincent and Jovanka Vuckovic, SYFY Wire reports this week that the concept is being adapted for the small screen.
The site reports, "Producers Jovanka Vuckovic, Todd Brown, and Raquelle David are in development on the anthology series, which will hire female screenwriters and female directors to bring new scary stories to the small screen."
Vuckovic shared details of this project during the Fantasia International Film Festival while promoting her feature directorial debut Riot Girls. "Raquelle [David], Todd Brown and I, are developing XX as a television series," she told the source, describing it as "sort of like a Black Mirror, but for women, all written and directed by women."
Regarding the tone of the series, Vuckovic said, "I know everyone hates the term 'elevated horror.' But let's say 'thinking person's horror,' feminist thinking person's horror."
