Heirs of the Night

Dracula’s tears and Elisabetha’s blood created 13 rubies with special powers. During the clan wars most rubies were lost, only a few clans survived. Fast forward, Europe, 1889: the Heirs of the five remaining vampire clans are brought together on the ship The Elisabetha to attend the newly created vampire school. Unlike their parents, they need to join forces and become stronger than ever if they want to survive. But the heirs face great challenges: Dracula has awoken and wants to gather all the rubies in order to free his love Elisabetha. They also need to face vampire hunters and humans. The saga is on! Heirs of the Night is ZDF Studios’ brand new big budget epic vampire saga. With strong co-viewing potential, and a definite family appeal, it is a metaphor of Europe’s unification.
