The Vam PD are on the beat
Get your fangs into a brand-new full-cast audio drama starring Juliet Landau, Mara Wilson, Warren Brown and Alimi Ballard. Vam PD, from Big Finish Productions, begins in October 2024.
Vampires live their lives by rules – but who polices them? Welcome to the Office of the Night, where vampires Catrin and Magnus keep an uneasy peace between the living and the undead.
This exciting new audio series follows the officers of the vampire police as they hunt down immortal lawbreakers.
Leading Vam PD’s star-studded cast is Juliet Landau (best known for playing Drusilla in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel) as Catrin, alongside Alimi Ballard (Numb3rs, Sabrina the Teenage Witch) as her partner in crime-fighting, Magnus.
Nineties icon Mara Wilson (Mrs Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street, Matilda) guest stars as Jane, the Office of the Night’s human liaison, while Warren Brown (Luther, Strike Back) plays Orhan, an important man in Jane’s life.
The first volume of Vam PD, comprising three episodes written by James Goss, will be released in October this year – just in time for ideal Halloween listening! A second volume, with three more episodes, is due in February 2025.
Throughout the series, the officers crack down on illegal blood-tasting parties, discover a thriving red market, investigate a cult that offers vampires the ability to walk in the sun, and more – all in a night’s work.
Both volumes of Vam PD are now available to pre-order as digital downloads (for just £18.99 each), exclusively here.
Producer Lizzie Worsdell said: “I am so excited for everyone to hear Vam PD. It features two iconic leads in Mara Wilson and Juliet Landau as well as a stellar supporting cast. The writing is brilliantly clever, witty and camp – a take on a vampire story that we haven't encountered before. Listeners can expect mystery, comedy, a bit of gore and lots of vampires! If you like Buffy or Lucifer, this is the series for you.”
Actor Juliet Landau added: "Big Finish reached out and said that James Goss had written the role of Catrin for me. I initially wasn’t sure I wanted to do another vampire project, but then I started reading the scripts and began laughing out loud – which isn’t something I generally do. I’m a person who thinks ‘that’s funny’ rather than laughing. But I was guffawing. In fact, my husband Dev asked from the other room, ‘What’s going on in there? What are you doing?’ And I said, ‘Vam PD! That’s what’s happening!’”
And her co-star Mara Wilson said: “First and foremost, Vam PD is really bloody funny. But it's also got suspense, it's got hijinks, it's got lore, it's got camaraderie, it's even got a touch of sweetness. But above all, it's funny. And yes, there's a lot of blood. I mean, they're vampires, of course there's blood.”
Big Finish listeners can save money by pre-ordering both Vam PD volumes as a multi-buy bundle for just £36 (download only), exclusively here.
