The NBCU streamer has canceled YA drama series "Vampire Academy" which ran for a single season. Execs at Peacock were happy with the show creatively but they just didn't find the requisite audience to justify further seasons. "Vampire Academy" was handed a straight-to-series order in May 2021 and premiered in September 2022. The show comes from Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre, and is based on Richelle Mead's book series.

UPDATE: Marguerite MacIntyre, executive producer, writer and showrunner of Vampire Academy, is giving fans an update on the efforts to the potential second season of the Peacock-cancelled show and it's not good news. "I have been wanting to say this for a very long time", MacIntyre said in a video shared on social media. "Again, thank you for all your love for the show. Thanks for the incredible support. Thanks for you sticking with us through a lot of thin lately". MacIntyre continued, "I don’t have good news. I don't see any avenue forward. I feel like now is the time to say I'm sorry about that, but it wasn't for lack of trying. We went a little silent because there wasn't a lot we could say. We pitched our hearts out, and we tried, and we took it as far as we could".
Disappointed!
I actually liked it.
Vampire Academy is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. It did well internationally, selling to more than 100 territories around the world. The studio is exploring other options for the show to continue.
