Reginald the Vampire season 2 is scheduled to arrive on Syfy on May 8, 2024. The first season of the comedy on vampires, which premiered in October 2022, stayed at number 2 on the charts for the channel for a while. In January 2023, the series got an announcement of renewal for a second season.

For the uninitiated, Reginald the Vampire is the story of an overweight vampire, Reginald Andres. The series is based on Johnny B. Truant's book series titled Fat Vampire. The initial season 1 comprised 10 episodes. However, after its good reception, a second season was announced with an as-yet-unknown number of episodes.

The series received a 70% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 63/100 on the Metacritic scale. The show garnered favourable reviews in an already overcrowded genre due to the humorous twist played by Jacob Batalon in the titular role.

Reginald the Vampire season 2: Expected plot and cast

As per Rotten Tomatoes, the synopsis of Reginald the Vampire season 2 reads:

"Reginald goes big or goes home; Maurice is the new Deacon; Nikki is the Killer Diller."

As per the synopsis, Maurice will likely take a more prominent role, where he will be more of a preacher-like personality. That may add to the interesting twist to the plot that will affect the vampire community.

Meanwhile, Nikki, who inadvertently has fallen for his target, may become unrelenting in her moves inciting more excitement. However, Reginald will face a significant choice and needs to step up with his action.

A new character, Balestro, an angel, is joining the team in the upcoming season. Balestro, played by Garfield Wilson of Peter Pan & Wendy fame, was onboarded last summer. Deadline describes the character as dignified, confident and intimidating with the mission of eliminating all vampires.

Harley Peyton, showrunner and creator, spoke to Syfy Wire hinting at a vampire-angels war in the upcoming season. While he warned that the war may not be a huge deal, it ensnares Reginald in big trouble. In a humorous turn, Peyton said that the angel may take its first sip of a slushy.

The cast of Reginald the Vampire season 2 will have Jacob Batalon in the titular role of Reginald, supported by Marguerite Hannah as Ashley, Mandela Van Peebles as Maurice Miller and Christin Park as Nikki.

The remaining cast will include some of the characters from season 1 like Em Haine as Sarah Kinney, Aren Buchholz as Todd, Savannah Basley as Angela and Georgia Waters as Penelope. Garfield Wilson's Balestro, appearing this season, will be seen in an important role.

Look out for Reginald the Vampire season 2 episode 1, titled The Pompatus of Love, slated to arrive on Syfy on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.
