Reginald the Vampire’s narrative revolves around the character of Reginald Baskin, played by Tom Holland’s Spider-Man sidekick, Jacob Batalon. Reginald stumbles into a world that filled with striking, athletic, and narcissistic vampires.

Batalon’s character, Reginald, stands out as an improbable hero. The series challenges the conventional vampire prototype. Amidst the mundane life, obstacles of unrequited love, being bullied by his manager boss at workplace, and a vampire chieftain seeking to end his life, Reginald finds solace and some semblance of contentment in the unrecognized power that he wields. Reginald’s life is a proof that the undead life is just as hard and complicated as life itself. The show’s content is a balance of fun, just the right amount of blood and, of course, with a lot heart.

Reginald the Vampire Season 1 received favorable reviews and was even praised for its unique concept and take on the vampire horror niche.
