And now he has a very similar look, and very similar vampire powers,” shares Kibblesmith. When he was a baby he got a rogue lifesaving blood transfusion, we assume, from Michael Morbius.

So with Screentime, we liked the idea that he has infinite screen time.” “The word ’screen time’ is only ever used in a sort of restrictive sense, and because we’re doing a story about teenage rebels, a lot of the names are about teens fighting against labels that are put on them.
