New York By Night follows two coteries of young vampires as they struggle to find their place amid the dark schemes of New York City’s undead underworld. Representing the Anarch story, season one focuses on a group of four young vampires who are fed up with living under the Camarilla’s strict rules.
Airing later this year, season two will focus on the Camarilla faction and their tight grip on New York’s vampire domain. Both the Anarch and Camarilla coteries begin their story separately but are on a collision course; carrying on the parallel narrative innovation the team pioneered in L.A. by Night. More information about Season 2, including cast and story details, will be revealed closer to its debut.
World of Darkness has at least three seasons of New York by Night planned for 2022, making it perfect for anyone looking for fresh Vampire drama. Subscribers to the World of Darkness Twitch channel unlock exclusive rewards, including early VOD access, custom emojis, and more.
