It’s the future and Berlin is collapsing. While privileged elite live beneath a climate-controlled dome, those outside struggle to survive in a world ravaged by heat, corruption, and crime. After years apart, sisters Bea and Phoebe are reunited and uncover a dark secret: Vampires are determined to seize political power — and blood has become the city’s new currency. Caught between human brutality and the inhuman, the sisters must fight to protect their lives and loved ones, while confronting the question: who is the greater monster, human or vampire?
City of Blood premieres on Hulu and Disney+ on September 16th.
