on the international bestselling book series
-- a story of friendship, romance and danger. In a world of privilege
and glamour, two young women’s friendship transcends their strikingly
different classes as they prepare to complete their education and enter
vampire society. One as a powerful Royal, the
other a half-vampire Guardian trained to protect against the savage
Strigoi who threaten to tear their society apart. That is if Royal
infighting doesn’t do the job first. Cast will partake in a Q&A live
panel and give an exclusive first look moderated by
Entertainment Weekly’s Sydney Bucksbaum. The series is from Universal
Television and will premiere on Peacock Sept. 15.

prevent them. Sprinkled with MacFarlane’s signature humor, this
extremely timely series explores end-of-the-world scenarios
with Nye at the center of it all. Join executive producer Bill Nye,
