Vampires in the Dominion

Vampire Academy is a supernatural television series that premiered in 2022. Based on the bestselling young adult novel series of the same name, its first season consisted of ten episodes, set in a world with Dhampir (half-human, half-vampire hybrids), Moroi (full-blooded mortal vampires), and Strigoi (soulless, undead vampires).

The series follows Rose Hathaway (Sisi Stringer), a Dhampir novice Guardian, training to be her Moroi best friend Lissa Dragomir’s (Daniella Nieves) Guardian. After a tragic accident alters the lives of both young women and binds them together forever, the two fight to understand their bond while studying at St. Vladimir’s Academy. Rose clashes at first with the stoic Guardian Dimitri Belikov (Kieron Moore), but the two soon find themselves in a mutual attraction that could break the rules of their society. Lissa also finds herself falling for someone she shouldn’t: the Royal outcast Christian Ozera (Andre Dae Kim), who harbors some dark secrets of her own.

This gripping story is a rarity in the world of fantasy television, with many of the lead roles played by cast members of color, and multiple LGBTQIA+storylines. Fans were able to see themselves in this magical world, a dream that was cut short by the series’ cancellation announcement. While the series was not renewed by Peacock, fans are rallying together with a campaign to save Vampire Academy. Taking to Twitter, Instagram, and more, the fans are hoping to find a new home for their beloved characters, and you can help spread the word!
