“Imagine a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires. Reginald Andres tumbles headlong into it as an unlikely hero who will have to navigate every kind of obstacle – the girl he loves but can’t be with, a bully manager at work and the vampire chieftain who wants him dead.
“Fortunately, Reginald discovers he has a few unrecognized powers of his own. A new show with a lot of heart and just enough blood, “Reginald the Vampire” proves the undead life is just as complicated as life itself.”
“Reginald the Vampire” is produced by Great Pacific Media Inc., Modern Story Company, December Films and Cineflix Studios and executive produced by Harley Peyton, Jeremiah Chechik, Todd Berger, Lindsay Macadam, Brett Burlock and Peter Emerson.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Takes a Bite Out Of SDCC With Official Trailer And Release Date!
The upcoming AMC series based on Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire was one of the big hits at SDCC this year and we were in the thick of it!

In Teen Wolf The Movie, “a full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it, a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced.”

Peacock’s VAMPIRE ACADEMY Sinks Its Teeth In With New Trailer!
Finally, we have your first look at Peacock’s VAMPIRE ACADEMY and boy does it have some bite!
If you recall, the young adult book series was turned into a feature film about eight years ago.
Peacock’s “Vampire Academy” opens up for business on September 15, 2022.
Here’s the official plot synopsis for the show…
“In a world of privilege and glamour, two young women’s friendship transcends their strikingly different classes as they prepare to complete their education and enter vampire society. One as a powerful Royal, the other a half-vampire Guardian trained to protect against the savage ‘Strigoi’ who threaten to tear their society apart. That is, if Royal infighting doesn’t do the job first.”
The six-book young adult vampire series was originally published between 2007 and 2010, with the first book adapted into the Vampire Academy feature film back in 2014.
Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Legacies) and Marguerite MacIntyre adapted the series, and serve as showrunners, writers and executive producers. Directors include Bille Woodruff, Luis Prieto, Jesse Warn, Erica Dunton, Geoff Shotz and Julie Plec.
