AceShowbiz - Singer and songwriter Halsey, whose real name is Ashley Frangipane, is diversifying her creative portfolio by delving into the world of screenwriting. The platinum-selling artist is currently developing a dark comedy TV series at Amazon MGM Studios titled "Bloodlust." Halsey will serve as the creator, writer, and executive producer of the series.

This exciting new venture reunites Halsey with director Ti West, with whom she previously worked on the horror feature "MaXXXine." West, known for his extensive work in horror films and TV series such as "Them," "The Exorcist," and "Wayward Pines," is set to direct and executive produce "Bloodlust."

Mark Friedman, recognized for his work on "Severance" and "Dispatches from Elsewhere," will serve as the showrunner and executive producer. Halsey's long-time manager, Anthony Li, will also join the executive production team.

Although specific plot details are being held tightly under wraps, the series has been in development for years. This long gestation period suggests a well-thought-out and meticulously crafted project that aims to make a significant impact. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Halsey will also showcase her acting chops in the series, alongside her behind-the-scenes roles.

Halsey has previously demonstrated her writing abilities with the Max original "If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power," a companion film to her album of the same name. Her acting credits also include notable roles in "A Star Is Born," "Roadies," "Americana," and voice roles in "Sing 2," "Teen Titans GO! To the Movies," and "Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?"

The collaboration between Halsey and West is a promising one, given their successful partnership on "MaXXXine." West, who recently completed his "MaXXXine" trilogy, brings a wealth of experience to the table, making the anticipation for "Bloodlust" even more palpable. Halsey's fans are eager to see what fresh perspectives she will bring to television through this dark comedy.

Discussion around Halsey's diverse talents continues to grow, and her move into screenwriting is yet another testament to her versatile capabilities. As "Bloodlust" continues to develop, audiences can look forward to seeing a new facet of Halsey's creative genius.
