Dead Day is not headed to Peacock after all. The streaming service has cancelled its order for the supernatural series from The Vampire Diaries’ Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson. Plec and Williamson were set to act as writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners on the series. Per Variety, Universal Television plans to shop the series to other outlets.

The series was to be an adaptation of the comic by the same, and it was given a straight-to-series order in January 2022.

Per the official logline, Dead Day follows an ensemble of characters as they navigate the annual ‘dead day,’ when for one night the dead come back to complete unfinished business, be that to celebrate a night back on earth or to torment the living.

The cancellation of Dead Day comes not long after Plec’s Vampire Academy series was cancelled after only one season on the Peacock streaming service.
