Comic-Con: A Glimpse Into the World of Peacock Original Supernatural YA Drama Series "Vampire Academy"
Showrunners and executive producers Julie Plec ("The Vampire Diaries," "The Originals," "Legacies") and Marguerite MacIntyre ("The Originals," "Legacies") will join series regulars Sisi Stringer (Rose Hathaway), Daniela Nieves (Lissa Dragomir), Kieron Moore (Dimitri Belikov) and Andre Dae Kim (Christian Ozera) to discuss Peacock's highly anticipated "Vampire Academy," based on the international bestselling book series -- a story of friendship, romance and danger. In a world of privilege and glamour, two young women's friendship transcends their strikingly different classes as they prepare to complete their education and enter vampire society. One as a powerful Royal, the other a half-vampire Guardian trained to protect against the savage Strigoi who threaten to tear their society apart. That is if Royal infighting doesn't do the job first. Cast will partake in a Q&A live panel and give an exclusive first look moderated by Entertainment Weekly's Sydney Bucksbaum. The series is from Universal Television and will premiere on Peacock Sept. 15.
