Vampires! Vampires are always trendy, in one way or another, and if you don't think so, then we're gonna change that: we found 15 TV shows about them that are not Buffy.

The world loves vampires because they are perfect for any kind of dramatic development.

You can focus on the sex allegories that are essentially the basis of the vampire culture, you can go philosophical and dive deep into the questions of humanity and monstrosity and their interactions, or you can do some really good supernatural action — and it all includes vampires.

It's a very versatile setting that lets the showrunners explore multiple things at once while adding some internationally understandable basis to the plot.

Vampires have been in almost every culture, and every single show has its own interpretation of their abilities and their place on our planet, but some things are crucial: vampires are mostly pretty, very strong, and they should be drinking blood if they don't have any personal restrictions.

Everything else is up to interpretation, and even these basics can be altered if the showrunners care to explain that in their lore. And trust us, in these shows, vampires have some logic to their existence.
