Mary Laws Is Taking “North American Lake Monsters” to Hulu

Laws

Mary Laws is bringing werewolves and fallen angels to Hulu. The streamer just picked up a new genre anthology series from the “Preacher” alumna and “Neon Demon” scribe. A press release confirmed the news.

Based on Nathan Ballingrud’s short story collection “North American Lake Monsters,” the untitled project sees Gothic beasts and broken people “driven to desperate acts in an attempt to repair their lives, ultimately showing there is a thin line between man and beast,” according to its official synopsis.

The series, which has received an eight-episode order, is created, written, and executive produced by Laws. Annapurna Television is producing.

“I write what I write because I’m a Christian,” Laws, who is also a playwright, has said. “It informs everything I do. My father always taught me it’s OK to laugh at the things you love. Part of ‘Preacher’ is about interrogating faith. You can’t do that stuff lightly. For a time the other writers would look at me across the table to see if I was gonna be offended but I never am. I’m happy to write about faith and God and get angry and deep. Let’s pull it all apart and see what’s lasting.”
