VampireAcademy co-showrunner Julie Plec explains a major Rose & Lissa change from book to TV 👀 'The first thing we did was ask, ‘Why would we want to tell that as a memory when we could watch it happen in real time?’ So we backed up the beginning...'😯
The co-showrunner of the brand new Vampire Academy TV show, Julie Plec, explains a big difference between the Vampire Academy books and the show. Vampire Academy tells the story of a dhampir named Rosemarie “Rose” Hathaway and her moroi princess best friend, Vasilisa “Lissa” Dragomir. At St. Vladimir’s Academy, where they go to school, Rose is in training to be Lissa’s guardian. Meanwhile, the dhampir falls in love with her teacher, Dimitri.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The Vampire Academy TV show is based on a six-book series of the same name, of which there was also a film adaptation in 2014. The movie didn’t perform well enough at the box office to get a sequel, so only the contents of the first novel in the series has ever been adapted for the screen. Sisi Stringer plays Rose, Daniela Nieves plays Lissa, and Kieron Moore plays Dimitri.
So much of Rose and Lissa’s friendship — what they experienced growing up, the things they saw, the trauma that happened to them, the losses they suffered — was told as part of their backstory. The first thing we did was ask, ‘Why would we want to tell that as a memory when we could watch it happen in real time?’ So we backed up the beginning of the story in the context of the girls’ friendship, while still doing other elements of the story that were specific to the first book.
Of course, there were some changes made between the Vampire Academy books and the 2014 movie, but they were more about mood and style than plot. The movie opted for more classic high school aesthetics, but stuck pretty closely to the plot of the books. On the other hand, the show seems to be more faithful to the medieval vampire look and feel established in the books, but is making some crucial plot changes.
Since Vampire Academy only got one movie adaptation, fans haven’t yet gotten the chance to see what an adaptation of the full series would be like. Whether there will be a Vampire Academy season 2 is still completely up in the air, and will likely depend on how the changes made between the books and TV show appeal to fans and critics. For anyone who’s curious about how the books compare to the show, the first four episodes of Vampire Academy have been released directly onto Peacock.
