The “Vampire Academy” series gets the first trailer

The Peacock platform has released the photos and the first trailer for “Vampire Academy”, which marks the return of producer Julie Plec, creator of the universe “The Vampire Diaries”, to vampire plots.

In the new attraction, he is working alongside Marguerite MacIntyre, who played Sheriff Lis Forbes in “The Vampire Diaries” and revealed her writing talent in “The Originals”.

Under the original name of the saga, “Vampire Academy” will bring to the screen a story that spans six books by writer Richelle Mead and takes place in an elite school. The plot portrays a world where vampires are the ruling class, an aristocracy full of privilege and glamor, whose status is brought under control when the friendship between a young vampire nobility and an almost normal teenager transcends their differences, between conspiracies and a coup attempt by the vampire leadership.

Sisi Stringer (“Mortal Kombat”) and Daniela Nieves (“Sex Appeal”) respectively played the lead roles of Rose Hathaway, a Dhampir, half human, half vampire, who acts as the guardian of the Moroi, and Princess Lissa Dragomir, a royal vampire Moroi, who despite a lack of interest in politics finds herself pushed to the throne by a sudden death in her family.

The rest of the cast includes Kieron Moore (“Sex Education”), André Dae Kim (“Degrassi”), J. August Richards (“Agents of SHIELD”), Anita-Joy Uwajeh (“Lucky Man”), Mia McKenna- Bruce (“The Dumping Ground”), Rhian Blundell (“Torchwood: Believe”), Jonetta Kaiser (“Breakwater”) and Andrew Liner (“Grown-ish”).

The casting reflects the trend towards greater racial integration in the cast of Hollywood productions.

It is useful to compare this cast with the film adaptation of the first book, released only eight years ago, which featured two white actresses, Zoey Deutch and the very blonde Lucy Fry, in the main roles. Even more discordant, in the entire cast there were only two black performers, whose roles are not even part of the casting announced for the television attraction.
