Hulu Orders “The Haunting Of Alejandra” Pilot

Disney’s 20th Television is developing a new show based on the 2023 horror novel by V. Castro, called “The Haunting of Alejandra”.

This recurring series blends psychological horror and social commentary that explores supernatural Mexican mythology. Wife, lawyer and millennial mom Alejandra finds herself struggling psychologically on maternity leave, but quickly finds it’s not run-of-the-mill postpartum; instead, she’s in a fight-to-the-death struggle with the legend of the famous La Llorona.

According to Deadline, the project is being written by Steven Paul Martinez, who is also an executive producer on the project, alongside Eva Longoria and Cris Abrego of Hyphenate Media Group, and Gigi Saul Guerrero and Raynor Shima of Luchagore. The book’s author, Castro, will also be a producer.

It’s been revealed that Hulu has ordered a pilot for this project, though, as with any pilot, this might not necessarily lead to the project becoming a full series, and there might be some creative changes afterwards.  Should the pilot be deemed good enough, expect to see the show eventually arrive on Hulu and Disney+.

V Castro took to social media to comment on the announcement of the pilot:
