Recap of the plot of Vampire Academy
NBC has also dropped the release date and a brief official synopsis on its press release along with the teaser. The official synopsis reads as follows:
"From executive producers Julie Plec & Marguerite MacIntyre comes a story of friendship, romance and danger. In a world of privilege and glamour, two young women’s friendship transcends their strikingly different classes as they prepare to complete their education and enter vampire society. One as a powerful Royal, the other a half-vampire Guardian trained to protect against the savage ‘Strigoi’ who threaten to tear their society apart. That is, if Royal infighting doesn’t do the job first."
Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

The novel series, Vampire Academy, consists of six volumes released between 2007 and 2010. The upcoming Peacock series is not the first and only adaptation of Mead's novels. In 2014 a Vampire Academy movie, directed by Mark Waters, was released.
