New YA series Vampirina:Teenage Vampire is coming to Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year

If you thought the market for YA vampire series was already saturated, think again. Disney tells us the music oriented series arrives on Disney Channel with two episodes on September 12, or streaming on Disney+ on October 15.

So, what is Vampirina:Teenage Vampire about?

From the article linked above, the series:

…tells the story of a tween vampire girl who leaves the safety of Transylvania to attend a performing arts boarding school. Living amongst humans for the first time, she pursues her passion for music while keeping her vampire identity a secret, something that’s made more challenging when her overprotective father charges an overzealous ghost to live with her at the school. Vampirina, or “Vee,” is an already beloved character from the popular book saga and the record-breaking Disney Jr series. “Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” is the first live-action portrayal.

Who is in the show?

Kenzi Richardson plays Vee; Jiwon Leeas is Sophie, Vee’s kind and girly-girl roommate; Shaun Dixon is the laid-back Elijah; Milo Maharlika plays the 600-year-old ghost, Demi; and Faith Hedley is Britney, a super-talented legacy student. The recurring cast features Kate Reinders (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) and Jeff Meacham (Black-ish) as Vee’s loving vampire parents. Kim Coles (Living Single) is Dean Merriweather of Wilson Hall Academy of the Arts.

There will also be guest appearances from Mykal-Michelle Harris, Jenna Davis, Ariel Martin and Janice LeAnn Brown.
