Vampire Academy stars Rhian Blundell and Mia McKenna-Bruce speak with GAY TIMES about the new series, playing LGBTQ+ roles and their characters “sexually charged” romance.
If you’ve missed your dose of supernatural dramas featuring LGBTQ+ relationships, look no further. Vampire Academy is a thrilling new series based on the Richelle Mead novels, filled with jeopardy, romance and royalty.
The show was adapted by executive producers Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre, best known for their work on hit programmes such as The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Legacies.
The ten episodes follow the close friendship of two young women as they navigate polar opposite lives. Rose, played by Sisi Stringer, is a lower-class Dhampir; a half-human, half-vampire protector to her Moroi royal counterpart, Lissa (Daniella Nieves).
