Vampire series Heirs of the Night will take a bite out of Family Channel with its North American debut on Monday, May 4 at 8pm ET/PT, featuring a two-part premiere event. Based on Ulrike Schweikert’s bestselling novel series, the show is set in 1889 and tells the story of the five remaining vampire clans in Europe, who are training their “Heirs” to survive. The heirs of each clan, previously enemies, become classmates in vampire school, teaching their unique clan powers to each other and navigating the social and emotional dynamics of teens faced with the immense responsibility of survival.  In their midst is 14-year-old Alisa, of Clan Vamalia, who must struggle with her unique power to choose between eternal life as a vampire or for all vampires to live as humans.

Bringing even more spellbinding adventures to families, The Bureau of Magical Things will premiere on Monday, May 4 with a new episode every weekday at 6:30pm ET/PT. The Bureau of Magical Things follows teenage girl Kyra who accidentally discovers a mystical world that gives her magical powers. When an unexpected threat emerges, she must unite fairies, elves and humans to save them all!
