Disney’s “Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” Trailer Released
Disney has released a trailer and poster for the upcoming original series “Vampirina: Teenage Vampire”, which is a live-action adaptation of the popular book saga.
“Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” tells the story of a tween vampire girl who leaves the safety of Transylvania to attend a performing arts boarding school. Living amongst humans for the first time, she pursues her passion for music while keeping her vampire identity a secret, something that’s made more challenging when her overprotective father charges an overzealous ghost to live with her at the school.
Check out the “Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” trailer below:
The show stars Kenzi Richardson as the edgy and adorable Vee; Jiwon Lee as Sophie, Vee’s kind and girly-girl roommate; Shaun Dixon as the intriguing and laid-back Elijah; Milo Maharlika as the 600-year-old ghost, Demi; and Faith Hedley as Britney, a super-talented legacy student. The recurring cast features Kate Reinders (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and Jeff Meacham (“black-ish”) as Vee’s loving vampire parents. Kim Coles (“Living Single”) is Dean Merriweather of Wilson Hall Academy of the Arts.
The show will also feature some guest stars including Emmy Award winner Mykal-Michelle Harris (“Raven’s Home”) as the delightful and dangerous Ruby, Jenna Davis (“M3GAN”) as magnetic classmate Megan, viral sensation Ariel Martin (aka Baby Ariel; “ZOMBIES”) as megacool popstar Millie Eyelash, and star of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” Janice LeAnn Brown as her character Billie in a mystical crossover episode.
From the team behind “Julie and the Phantoms,” Dan Cross and David Hoge serve as showrunners and executive producers. Creator of hit series “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” Tim Federle is executive producer, with Bronwyn North-Reist as executive producer and Meg Deloatch (“Family Reunion”) as executive producer. The series was developed for television by Randi Barnes.
It was also announced that the soundtrack to the film, featuring 14 brand-new songs, will be released on October 10th. The show’s lead single, “S-L-A-Y,” will be available on all platforms starting September 12th.
The music-driven series premieres on the Disney Channel on September 12th 2025, with all episodes streaming on October 15th on Disney+ in many countries, including the United States and Canada. It will also be available to stream on the Disney Channel On Demand.
Roger’s Take: Hopefully, “Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” will be the next big hit for the Disney Channel and Disney+, as it has everything you’d think would be popular with kids, an established franchise and catchy songs. My only complaint is that Disney Channel really needs to get its release schedules synced with Disney+ globally, rather than doing this weird linear first strategy, which just doesn’t make sense in most countries since there isn’t a Disney Channel.
