“Vampirina: Teenage Vampire” tells the story of a tween vampire girl who leaves the safety of Transylvania to attend a performing arts boarding school.

The recurring cast features Kate Reinders (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and Jeff Meacham (“Black-ish”) as Vee’s loving vampire parents.
