The wait is finally over, fang fam — Disney just unleashed the official trailer and poster for Vampirina: Teenage Vampire, and we can confirm: Vee is back, bolder than ever, and she’s about to S-L-A-Y.
The new music-driven live-action series premieres September 12 on Disney Channel, with all episodes landing on Disney+ October 15. But that’s not all — the hype is getting an extra boost with a soundtrack drop. Walt Disney Records will release the Vampirina: Teenage Vampire Original Soundtrack on October 10, stacked with 14 brand-new songs. Leading the charge? The absolute anthem “S-L-A-Y,” which drops the same day the show premieres.
In case you missed it, Vampirina: Teenage Vampire follows tween vamp Vee (played by Kenzi Richardson) as she leaves her safe Transylvanian bubble behind to attend a performing arts boarding school. Think spooky secrets, big-stage dreams, and an overzealous ghost sidekick who makes “blending in” pretty impossible. Oh, and did we mention she’s hiding her vampire identity from her human classmates? Yeah, no pressure.
Alongside Richardson, the core crew includes Jiwon Lee as Sophie, Vee’s sweet, girly-girl roommate; Shaun Dixon as Elijah, the laid-back but mysterious classmate; Milo Maharlika as Demi, the centuries-old ghost roommate we never knew we needed; Faith Hedley as Britney, a super-talented legacy student who’s definitely giving “main character energy”
And it doesn’t stop there. Vee’s parents are played by HSMTMTS fave Kate Reinders and black-ish star Jeff Meacham, with Kim Coles (Living Single) running the show (literally) as Dean Merriweather at Wilson Hall Academy of the Arts.
The guest lineup is honestly insane — we’re talking Emmy winner Mykal-Michelle Harris (Raven’s Home) as Ruby, Jenna Davis (M3GAN) as Megan, viral superstar Ariel Martin (aka Baby Ariel) as a too-cool pop icon named Millie Eyelash, and even a magical crossover moment with Wizards Beyond Waverly Place star Janice LeAnn Brown as Billie.
This series has some serious heavy-hitters running the show: Dan Cross & David Hoge (Julie and the Phantoms) as showrunners, Tim Federle (HSMTMTS) executive producing, plus Bronwyn North-Reist and Meg Deloatch (Family Reunion). It was developed for TV by Randi Barnes, and the vibe is giving high-energy, music-fueled magic with a spooky twist.
From the looks of the trailer, Vampirina: Teenage Vampire is serving camp, heart, and plenty of bops. Between the powerhouse cast, the loaded soundtrack, and the return of a beloved Disney Jr. icon in her first-ever live-action role, this series is shaping up to be the ultimate fall obsession for Disney fans everywhere.
Catch the premiere on September 12 on Disney Channel, stream all episodes on October 15 on Disney+, and blast “S-L-A-Y” on repeat while you count down the days.
