Ultraviolet
They look like us. They act like us. For centuries vampires have co-existed in harmony with humans... until now.
Created by Joe Ahearne
On Channel 4
A tense, paranoid miniseries that treats vampires as a biological threat requiring scientific investigation, grounding supernatural horror in procedural realism and institutional dread.
With the growing threat of viral epidemic and the possibility of worldwide environmental catastrophe, humanity has an unprecedented ability to destroy itself, and vampires need to take control of their threatened food source. CIB is a clandestine, elite government unit that hunts vampires, referred to as 'Code Fives' or 'leeches'. DS Michael Colefield joins the team after his partner is turned, blending a realistic, scientific approach with modern vampire mythology, including their inability to appear on video or audio recordings.
