Vampirina is a computer-animated Halloween fantasy musical children's television series that premiered on Disney Junior on October 1, 2017. The show is based on the Vampirina Ballerina series of books written by Anne Marie Pace and illustrated by LeUyen Pham, published by Disney-Hyperion. Disney Junior announced the series in March 2016. It features much of the staff that has worked on fellow series Doc McStuffins.[1] In January 2018, a second season was announced by Disney,[2] and the third season was announced on September 7, 2018. [3]

Premise

Vampirina follows the story of Vampirina "Vee" Hauntley who becomes a new kid on the block after she and her family move from Transylvania to Pennsylvania to open a local bed and breakfast called the Scare B&B for visiting ghouls (including vampires[4]) and goblins. The Hauntley family have to learn to do things the "Pennsylvania way", especially when Vee is at school.
