Reginald Baskin is back for another bite.
NBCUniversal network Syfy has renewed the horror comedy Reginald the Vampire for a second season.
The adaptation of Johnny B. Truant’s Fat Vampire series is produced by Vancouver prodco Great Pacific Media (GPM), a division of Thunderbird Entertainment, as well as Modern Story Company, December Films and Cineflix Studios. The series stars Jacob Batalon (pictured; Spider-Man: No Way Home) as a freshly turned vampire as he attempts to navigate romance while adjusting to his new powers, urges and acquaintances.
The 10 x 60-minute second season will be filmed in British Columbia with Jeremiah Chechik (Shadowhunters) back to direct and serve as an executive producer.
The second season of Reginald the Vampire will also be executive produced by returning showrunner Harley Peyton (Twin Peaks), Todd Berger (Wynonna Earp), GPM’s Lindsay Macadam (Brain on Fire) and Cineflix Studios’ Brett Burlock (Coroner) and Peter Emerson (Tehran).
Cineflix Rights, the U.K. distribution arm of Montreal’s Cineflix Media, is the exclusive worldwide distribution partner for Reginald the Vampire. Amazon-owned streamer Prime Video previously acquired Canada, Australia and New Zealand rights for the series’ first season, while Hulu picked up second-window U.S. rights.
Reginald the Vampire season one has also previously been sold to Sky for the U.K. and Ireland, AMC Networks International for Latin America, SCIFI for Poland and the Balkans, and to Syfy channels in France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Switzerland.
The series was ranked as the No. 2 cable drama in the 10 p.m. Wednesday timeslot in the 18-49 demographic in the U.S., according to Syfy.
