Blood Drive ordered by Syfy

Syfy has given a series order for Blood Drive, a drama series set in an apocalyptic future. The show features a police officer who is forced to join a cross-country death race featuring cars that run on blood.

The show will be produced by Universal Cable Productions and the first Season will feature 13 episodes. It will be executive produced by John Hlavin and David Straiton.

Dave Howe, president of Syfy and Chiller, said: “This highly stylized roller coaster ride is a throwback to 1970s grindhouse cinema. With its fast-paced thrills and indie feel, Blood Drive will make an exciting and edgy addition to Syfy’s growing slate of original scripted series.”
