Emmerdale's Max Parker rumoured to have landed Hollywood role

Emmerdale alum Max Parker might have landed a role in upcoming Hollywood project, starring in the Peacock series Vampire Academy.

The TV adaptation of the YA novels by Richelle Mead, this series developed by The Vampire Diares' Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre focuses on the friendship between two young women training to enter vampire royal society.

Best known for the role of Luke Posner on Emmerdale, Parker is rumoured to be part of the young cast of the show following his exit from the ITV soap in June.

Although there's no official confirmation as of yet, The Sun is reporting that Parker is currently filming the show in Spain.

The series stars Sex Education actor Kieron Moore alongside Sisi Stringer, Daniela Nieves, André Dae Kim, J August Richards, Anita-Joy Uwajeh, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Rhian Blundell, Jonetta Kaiser and Andrew Liner.

While we await official confirmation, over on Reddit, fans of the book series – adapted in a movie in 2014 – have started speculating about his apparent new gig by scouring the English actor's social media.

Earlier this month, Parker revealed on Instagram that he had a big project coming up, writing: "NEW TINGZ PENDINGZ" with a grimacing emoji.

His partner, Kris Mochrie, then commented with a vampire and a graduation cap emojis, which seemingly left little doubt as to which show he was referring to.

Another Reddit user posted a screengrab from Sisi Stringer's Instagram Stories. In the snap, someone who looks a lot like Parker is seen hanging out with Stringer and her Vampire Academy co-stars, although it's a little hard to tell who everyone is with them all wearing face coverings.

The series doesn't have an official release date yet, but fans should probably keep their eyes peeled for official casting announcements soon.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
