Recently, Reginald the Vampire returned to Syfy for an all-new season two. The series follows Reginald Andres (Jacob Batalon) whose life was upended last season when he was turned into a vampire. Although not the stereotypical vampire, Reginald found a place with his sire, Maurice (Mandela Van Peebles), while continuing to try to maintain a normal existence working at the Slushy Shack with his former girlfriend, Sarah (Em Haine), who he hopes to win back. 

At the end of lasts season, Reginald was required to pass an assessment with the threat of his death and that of his sire if he failed. With the help of his friends, including unlikely vampire ally Angela (Savannah Basley), he passed, and the Deacon was killed, with Maurice taking on the job. 

In season two, Maurice must learn what it means to be Deacon while also dealing with a new threat to all the vampires: angels. 


Van Peebles recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on season two, including his character adapting to being the new Deacon and what that means, how he’s changed since meeting Reginald, his relationship with Angela this season, what he thinks of working with the fake blood, and more.
