Donny Cates rides in again, this time with his series Redneck, co created with Lisandro Estherren, which follows a family in deep Texas who run the local barbecue place.

Oh, and they're vampires. Did we not mention that?

Hiding in plain sight and feeding off cow blood, the vampiric Bowmans find that peaceful life thrown into disarray as the generations of old hatreds and prejudices bubble to the service and the claret begins to spill.

It could be the next True Blood. You know, without the fairies, sex, and non-sensical twists. A more grounded yet still fantasty-driven horror that plays with the ideas of who the real monsters in the story are: the Sopranos but re-set in the Deep South with bloodsuckers instead of mobsters.
