VAMPIRE ACADEMY NEW DRAMA WITH BITE

In 1897, Bram Stoker published Dracula and he had absolutely no idea what he was starting — 125 years later, we’re still in love with vampires. After Buffy, the Twilight saga, True Blood and The Strain, now there’s Vampire Academy, an eagerly awaited ten-part series based on the bestselling young adult series by

Richelle Mead. It’s set at prestigious St Vladimir’s, a hidden boarding school for training vampire royals and their halfhuman guardians. There we follow the good vampire princess Lissa Dragomir and her best friend and guardian Rose Hathaway (Daniela Nieves and Sisi Stringer, above) as they look to navigate their way through a world full of politics, intrigue, a lot of romance and evil vampires in the shape of the Strigoi. Episodes 1-4 from Friday, then weekly (via Peacock)
