It’s officially spooky season, and Netflix has just what you need. The streaming giant is set to release a new vampire-centric series on Oct. 17. If this sounds like something you’d want to watch, we must share with you all there is to know about it.

The name of the show is I Woke Up a Vampire. It’s a fantasy series produced and developed by Wildbrain in partnership with Netflix. The first season aired on the Canadian TV network, Family Channel, from May 5, 2023, to Sept. 1, 2023, and now it’s scheduled to be released on Netflix soon.

Created by Thomas Lynch, I Woke Up a Vampire follows a teen girl named Carmie who finds out on her 13th birthday that she’s actually half human, half vampire. She then finds herself on a journey of self-discovery while navigating puberty and school and dealing with a vampire hunter hot on her trail.

While the show mainly focuses on a group of teens, you might be wondering if the actors behind the characters are actually teens in real life. No worries! We shared the current ages of some of the main cast as well as some fun facts about them right below.
