The VAMPIRE ACADEMY Cast Shares Their Familiarity with the Franchise Before Booking the Peacock Series

In 2007, the first Richelle Mead book from the VAMPIRE ACADEMY series was released. Five more books followed, as did a 2014 film adaptation. And now Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre teamed up to bring the world to life via the new Peacock show.

“We were fans [of the] the books first, many, many years ago, before we even dreamt of making it a TV show,” Plec previously shared. “And we wanted to treat the source material with that respect, and we wanted to tell the stories very much like how Richelle Mead told the stories.”
