‘Reginald the Vampire’ Preview
Based on the book series by Johnny B. Truant, this new teen horror dramedy is about a self-conscious vampire named Reginald, played by Jacob Batalon, who is best known as Peter Parker’s best friend Ned in the Tom Holland “Spider-Man” movies.
The Syfy press release for “Reginald the Vampire” teases:
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.
The 10-episode comedy-tinged drama turns traditional vampire tropes on their head while draining the blood from modern-day beauty standards. Newly turned, Reginald crashes into a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires, where he overcomes obstacles not limited to: A bully boss, falling for a human girl he can’t have, and a vampire chieftain who wants him dead. Fortunately, Reginald discovers he has a few powers of his own.
The premiere episode is titled “Dead Weight” and its description reads, “Reginald Andres lives a life of dreams deferred until he is turned into a vampire and begins an undead life he never dreamed of.”
Then on October 12 comes episode two, titled “The Hunger.” Its description reads, “Reginald learns how to feed, and it doesn’t go well, but he discovers an unexpected and secret power along the way.”
“The incredible creative team and cast we’ve assembled to bring ‘Reginald the Vampire’ to life has attracted these amazing global media partners. We cannot wait to share this series with audiences worldwide and to bring more premium scripted dramas like Reginald the Vampire to the US and international markets,” said Lindsay Macadam, Senior Vice President, Content and Business Development, GPM, and Executive Producer, in a statement.
“The fact that Reginald’s grand, weird and wonderful adventures will be brought to the world through our first-class creative talent and cast, and now, these top-notch platform and distribution partners, is incredibly exciting. ‘Reginald the Vampire’ is the infusion of fresh blood this genre’s been waiting for,” said Harley Peyton, series showrunner, Executive Producer and partner at Modern Story.
“Reginald the Vampire” premieres Wednesday, October 5 at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Syfy.
