This 10-parter starring Spider Man: No Way Home’s Jacob Batalon (pictured) and inspired by Johnny Truant’s Fat Vampire novels turns traditional vampire tropes on their head while draining the blood from modern-day beauty standards. Reginald (Batalon) is the unlikely hero who crashes headlong into a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires while navigating numerous obstacles in his new undead life: the girl he loves but can’t be with, a bullying manager at work and the vampire chieftain who wants him deal. Fortunately he discovers he has a few unrecognized powers of his own. Don’t be surprised if the show sink its fangs into the multiple global buyers at Mip, while Batalon will be on hand partaking in press junkets.
