The series premiered on Septemon Peacock to generally positive reviews. It revolves around Rose Hathaway who is a guardian-in-training Dhampir, and Lissa Dragomir, who is a Moroi princess, and follows their life and adventures at the St Vladimir's Academy, a boarding school. The series features characters from the books and re-imagined versions of others.

The filming took place in Spain and Portugal. It was given a straight-to-series order in May 2021 by Peacock, and casting announcements were made in 2021. Unlike the film, it does not adapt a particular novel of Mead's series, but instead takes the basics, inspirations, and elements from the six novels, using them to tell a different story. It is the second adaptation of the novel series, after the 2014 film of the same name, and serves as a reboot. It stars Sisi Stringer, Daniela Nieves, Kieron Moore and André Dae Kim alongside an ensemble cast. Adapted for Peacock by Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre, the series is produced by Universal Television. Vampire Academy is an American fantasy horror television series based on the novels series of the same name by Richelle Mead.
