Fans of the novels of Vampire Academy can prepare for the release of the show, which will arrive in the United States Peacock in September, exactly on the 15th of the month. In total, the season will run for about ten hours spread over ten episodes, just enough to dissect a bit of the history of Richelle Mead’s novels.
The development of the TV series on Vampire Academy was announced a year ago. After creating Vampire Diaries for The CW, Julie Plec has signed a deal with Universal Television to bring the teen romance series to the screen.
The story of Vampire Academy focuses on a group of girls who complete their educational phase within the Royal Vampire Society. The official synopsis presents the show as a story of:
Danger, romance and friendship, in a world of privilege and glamour. Cultivating a friendship that transcends their social classes, two girls prepare to enter the academy: one belongs to the Royals and the other to the Guardians, trying to fight off the Strigoi, evil vampires bent on destroying society.
Julie Plec, along with her longtime collaborator Marguerite MacIntyre, will serve as the series’ co-showrunner and executive producers. The books have already been made into a movie produced by Lionsgate in 2014.
