On Netflix
A dark, high-concept historical thriller that grafts body-horror and conspiracy onto the French Revolution, blending period drama with speculative horror.
1787, France. While investigating a series of mysterious murders, Joseph Guillotin - the future inventor of the world famous ‘Guillotine’ - uncovers an unknown virus: the Blue Blood. The disease quickly spreads amongst the French aristocracy, driving them to murder ordinary people and soon leads to a rebellion.
