WildBrain has unveiled a new series in partnership with Netflix as part of its slate of original live-action content for Family Channel.
There will be a new Claudia when she returns to Interview with the Vampire, and she's more bloodthirsty than ever.
Creator: Tommy Lynch
Stars: Niko Ceci, Zebastin Borjeau, Ana Araujo
AMC released the first look at Season 2 of the TV adaptation of Anne Rice's novel at New York Comic Con on Thursday, and the photo and video reveal the debut of Delainey Hayles as she takes on the role of the previously played teenage vampire by Bailey Bass in season 1.
In the preview scene, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and Claudia are taken to a farm by Santiago (Ben Daniels), the lead vampire actor at the Vampire Theatre. As her vampire coven eagerly takes over the mansion, feasting on the humans inside, Claudia gleefully participates in the bloodbath.
I Woke a Vampire (pictured, 16 x 22 minutes), is produced and developed by WildBrain in association with Netflix. The show follows the journey of self-discovery of a 13-year-old half-human, half-vampire girl as she navigates school, deals with a vampire hunter, and even takes part in a musical.
Thomas Lynch (The Other Kingdom, The Secret World of Alex Mack) is the creator and showrunner of the series, which premieres on WildBrain's Family Channel this spring and on Netflix later this year. The series was made with the financial participation of the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and Ontario Creates, according to a press release.
Family Channel has also confirmed that it will premiere Home Sweet Rome (13 x 30 minutes) this spring. It is produced by Red Monk Studio, First Generation Films and Toronto's Superprod Group and centers on a 13-year-old girl who moves to Rome and tries to adapt to the city, new friends and her famous Italian pop star stepmother. . Other broadcasters that have previously adopted it include BBC, ARD (Germany), and HBO Max and Cartoon Network in the US.
The previously announced 90-minute film Life with Luca, produced by Toronto-based Shaftesbury, will also come to fruition with a release date set for February 20. The spin-off of the popular Canadian teen comedy Life with Derek (which premiered in 2005 on the Family Channel) follows stepbrothers Derek and Casey, now adults who are dealing with their own teenage children.
Daphne Ballon (creator of Life with Derek) and Jeff Biederman (writer of Life with Derek) created the film. WildBrain is the global distributor of Life with Luca and the Life with Derek brand.
