TV Shows/A Possible Conclusion

During my research, I have discovered that vampire films are becoming less and less relevant and popular (which is making my dissertation rather tricky). The new Underworld was a flop as it was the "same as the others" and other films were quite independent with not a lot of marketing behind them. It seems like the vampire is dying (ironically).

However, there has been more and more successful vampires in TV shows; Shadowhunters, Preacher, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and upcoming Interview With The Vampire which has a lot of hype surrounding it.

Preacher is a particularly good example with various award nominations and 90% score (season 2 getting 97%) on Rotten Tomatoes with people saying "Preacher's sophomore season benefits from more focused storytelling, without sacrificing any of its gorgeous, violent, insane fun." The show is still going strong, with Cassidy being many people's favourite character (yeah, mine too). 

Maybe the future for vampires isn't in films anymore, possibly because it's been done too much and people are finding it boring, or it could be a context link with more people choosing to binge watch TV shows on Netflix rather than watch a film. I will research into this further in my dissertation.
