Peacock has announced the main cast of its TV series based on Richelle Mead’s popular young adult book series “Vampire Academy”.

Joining the pair who are preparing to complete their education and enter royal vampire society are: Kieron Moore as the lethal Dhampir guardian Dimitri Belikov, Andre Dae Kim as the thoughtful social pariah Christian Ozera, and “Angel” alum J. August Richards as noble political strategist Victor Dashkov.
There’s also Anita-Joy Uwajeh as Moroi vampire Tatiana Vogel, Mia McKenna-Bruce as witty non-royal student Mia Karp, Rhian Blundell as strong-willed Meredith, and Jonetta Kaiser as bookworm Sonya Karp, Andrew Liner as number one Guardian-in-training Mason Ashford,
“Legacies” duo Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre serve as showrunners while Billie Woodruff is set to helm the first episode.
