“You know, honestly speaking, I did not know what to expect,” Batalon said regarding the script and production, “but I just knew it was a very fun and different show that we had not really seen yet. I was really just looking forward to being a part of something very special, and I’m really glad that people have received it really well.I want nothing more than to make people happy.”
Reginald the Vampire
The series is set in a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires. Reginald Baskin (Batalon) tumbles headlong into it 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. A new show with a lot of heart and just enough blood, Reginald the Vampire proves the undead life is just as complicated as life itself.
Season 2 of Reginald the Vampire
In Season 2, fans can expect the “blood war” to figure, tying into the growing battle between vampires and angels. “The romance, the drama,and the comedyare all on another level,” Batalon teases. “We see Reginald try to figure out how to beat the angels as soon as possible because they will be wiped out in 30 days. It’s pretty crazy. And there’s still funny things.” When asked how he has adapted to being the headliner of his very own series, Batalon added:
“It feels super awkward to be the reason why the show is going. Because I love everyone I work with, and I love that they work with me… and there’s this thing when you make movies and TV, obviously, like a shot list, and what you need to capture in a scene. A lot of it is just my reaction, and it just feels super awkward to be the main point of everything.”
Spider-Man Star Jacob Batalon Addresses His Return as Ned in the MCU: ‘I Definitely Hope So’
Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned in the MCU, has addressed whether he will return alongside Tom Holland.
“But it’s special,” he went on, “and I love everyone who I work with on the show because they’re so happy to be a part of it. And they’re shining just as much, if not more than me, in the show. I’d have to say when I was in Portugal, and I was at the TV convention and I saw a big poster of me at the convention center. I felt like, this is really different.”
