“We really get to see them in crisis mode, which is when people really reveal themselves…and where a lot of growth happens.”
Excited fans of the critically acclaimed web series Carmilla were treated on Thursday, October 5, 2017 at NYCC when stars Natasha Negovanlis and Elise Bauman sat down and spoke about their upcoming movie during a special panel. Set five years after Laura (Bauman) and Carmilla (Negovanlis) vanquished the apocalypse, Carmilla is learning to adapt to life as a human. They couple live in a cozy apartment in downtown Toronto while Laura hones her journalism skills. When Carmilla shows signs of “re-vamping” and Laura starts having bizarre, ghostly dreams, things fall apart. The couple must now enlist their old friends from Silas University to uncover the unknown supernatural threat and save humanity – including Carmilla’s.

“For the past five years, she’s really been going after her career in investigative journalism…and she and Carmilla have been living this very domestic life until Carmilla starts to show signs of re-vamping.”
