Kennedy first met some of the Vampirina: Teenage Vampire cast back in May at the Phineas and Ferb premiere and she was so excited to see them again at the Disney Zombies 4 premiere in July! She’s had the best time interviewing the cast and getting to know them over the past few months.
Kennedy was a HUGE Vampirina fan growing up, we had all the books, the merch, the outfits, and we always had to stop and visit Vampirina at DCA. That’s why it’s extra special to see Disney bring this beloved animated series to life in a brand-new live action format. Vampirina: Teenage Vampire premieres September 12 on Disney Channel and October 15 on Disney+!
We can't wait to share our interviews with this incredible cast — so stay tuned and don’t forget to mark your calendars!
Vampirina: Teenage Vampire tells the story of a tween vampire girl who leaves the safety of Transylvania to attend a performing arts boarding school. Living amongst humans for the first time, she pursues her passion for music while keeping her vampire identity a secret, something that’s made more challenging when her overprotective father charges an overzealous ghost to live with her at the school. Vampirina, or “Vee,” is an already beloved character from the popular book saga and the record-breaking Disney Jr. series. “Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” is the first live-action portrayal.
Upcoming episodes will guest star EmmyⓇ Award winner Mykal-Michelle Harris as the delightful and dangerous Ruby, Jenna Davis (“M3GAN,” “M3EGAN 2.0) as magnetic upperclassmen Megan, viral sensation Ariel Martin (aka Baby Ariel; “ZOMBIES”) as megacool popstar Millie Eyelash, and star of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” Janice LeAnn Brown as her character Billie in a mystical crossover episode.
The main cast is completed by Kenzi Richardson as the edgy and adorable Vee; Jiwon Lee as Sophie, Vee’s kind and girly-girl roommate; Shaun Dixon as the intriguing and laid-back Elijah; Milo Maharlika as the 600-year-old ghost, Demi; and Faith Hedley as Britney, a super-talented legacy student. The recurring cast features Kate Reinders (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and Jeff Meacham (“Black-ish”) as Vee’s loving vampire parents. Kim Coles (“Living Single”) is Dean Merriweather of Wilson Hall Academy of the Arts.
