Syfy’s newest hit series Reginald the Vampire has already delivered two hilarious and heartfelt seasons thus far, but will the series return for season 3? Based on the novel Fat Vampire by Johnny B. Truant, the series concerns an average Joe named Reginald who dreams of a more exciting life. However, when he suddenly finds himself transformed into a vampire, Reggie soon learns he may have bit off more than he can chew. Taking a page from predecessors like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Reginald the Vampire mixes humor with suspense to deliver a uniquely modern macabre tale.
Though the series failed to make a big splash when it debuted on the Syfy Channel in 2022, Reginald the Vampire earned decent marks from critics who particularly praised the lead performance of Jacob Batalon (via Rotten Tomatoes). The Syfy Channel has delivered a wide variety of content in recent years, and Syfy’s best original shows represent a mix of genres from its science fiction namesake to paranormal comedies. The second season will truly be the biggest test for Reginald the Vampire‘s future, and if the sophomore season hits, more adventures are certainly on the horizon.

With the sophomore season still so new, it comes as no surprise that Syfy hasn’t renewed Reginald the Vampire for a third season yet. Unlike some streaming exclusive programs which drop all of their season episodes at once, Reginald the Vampire still follows the classic TV pattern and drops episodes weekly. Because of this, the network is likely going to look at a mix of data before determining the status of their burgeoning vampire comedy. Live ratings will be important, but streaming data can also help boost Reggie’s chances of earning more episodes at Syfy.
Because season 2 of Reginald the Vampire is still running, it’s impossible to know exactly who will survive to see the third season if the horror comedy show gets renewed. One certainty is that of Jacob Batalon as the titular reluctant vampire, and the Spider-Man: No Way Home star has earned high praise for his leading turn after establishing himself as a legitimate supporting star in the aforementioned MCU movies. While the presence of stake-wielding vampire hunters means anyone could get killed off, Mandela Van Peebles will also probably be back as Reggie’s vampire creator, Maurice.
The formerly villainous Angela will also likely return as she continues to build a new friendship with Maurice and Reginald, meaning Savannah Basley should reprise her role. Furthermore, Reggie’s will-they-won’t-they love Sarah adds a lot of intrigue to the series, and Em Haine should be back to continue to strengthen their bond.
The presumptive cast of Reginald the Vampire season 3 includes:
After surviving his test in the season 1 finale of Reginald the Vampire, the newly-minted bloodsucker only has more trouble on the horizon with the arrival of angels and vampire hunters in season 2. At this juncture, it’s impossible to know how things will turn out for Reggie and his allies throughout the sophomore season, making story details for season 3 purely speculative. Until season 2 wraps up, it’s impossible to know what new plot threads will be introduced for season 3, but a few ongoing narratives are sure to continue.
First, Reggie will likely continue to pressure Maurice into changing the way the vampires see the world around them. By nudging his begrudging friend into ending vampire discrimination at the end of Reginald the Vampire season 1, Reggie has positioned himself as a force for change within his new community. Also, Reggie’s relationship with Sarah will likely take some new path throughout future seasons, and their will-they-won’t-they could evolve into a full-fledged relationship, or turn sour.
