Cineflix Rights lines up Reginald the Vampire, Irvine Welsh’s Crime for MipTV

Jacob Batalon plays an out-of-place vampire in Reginald the Vampire

Supernatural series Reginald the Vampire, starring Spider-Man’s Jacob Batalon, and Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh’s drama Crime are among the shows London-based distributor Cineflix Rights will shop at this year’s MipTV.

Reginald the Vampire (10×60’) is produced by Great Pacific Media, Modern Story, December Films and Cineflix Studios for Syfy in the US. Inspired by Johnny B Truant’s Fat Vampire novels, the series stars Batalon as a new vampire who must overcome myriad obstacles in a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires.

Crime is an adaptation of Welsh’s novel of the same name and is produced by Buccaneer Media for ITV and BritBox. The 6×60’ series follows detective inspector Ray Lennox (Dougray Scott), a man engaged in his own disturbing battle while undertaking serious crime investigations in a city on the edge of the abyss.

Also on Cineflix’s scripted slate is Sugar (1×90’), a feature thriller inspired by the real-life story of the ‘Cocaine Cowgirls,’ two young Canadian influencers on a dream trip that turns into a nightmare when they become entangled in a deadly drug-smuggling operation. Sugar is produced by Connect3 Media and Sepia Films.

Produced by Peninsula Television for CBS Reality in the UK, Eire, Africa and Poland, Descent of a Serial Killer (10×60’) investigates why serial killers become what they are and how investigators can often miss key indicators in tracking them down.
