SYFY has announced that its television adaptation of Fat Vampire titled Reginald the Vampire will have an October 5 premiere date. Along with the announcement, the cabler has released a motion teaser featuring first-looks of the cast members in action, which you can check out below.
Imagine a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires. Reginald Andres tumbles headlong into it as an unlikely hero who will have to navigate every kind of obstacle – the girl he loves but can’t be with, a bully manager at work and the vampire chieftain who wants him dead.
Fortunately, Reginald discovers he has a few unrecognized powers of his own. A new show with a lot of heart and just enough blood, “Reginald the Vampire” proves the undead life is just as complicated as life itself.
