Reginald the Vampire is based on the “Fat Vampire” book series by Johnny B. Truant, and “revolves around an unlikely hero, Reginald Baskin (Batalon) who tumbles headlong into a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires as an unlikely hero who will have to navigate every kind of obstacle — the girl he loves but can’t be with, a bully manager at work and the vampire chieftain who wants him dead. Fortunately, Reginald discovers he has a few unrecognized powers of his own.”
Harley Peyton will write the script, as well as serve as executive producer and showrunner. Jeremiah Chechik will also executive producer and direct.
