Blade: The Series is a TV series based on the Marvel Comics character Blade, portrayed on the big screen by Wesley Snipes. The series spin-off is likely a result of the success of the Blade Trilogy of films also based on the comic book character. The series premiered on Spike TV on June 28, 2006, with a two-hour pilot written by David Goyer, directed by Geoff Johns, and starring Kirk Jones (Sticky Fingaz) as the half-vampire, half-human Daywalker, Blade.

The series picked up where the last film, Blade: Trinity, left off and added several new characters, including Jill Wagner as Krista Starr, Neil Jackson as Marcus Van Sciver, Jessica Gower as Chase, and Nelson Lee as Shen.

Blade was SpikeTV's first original scripted series and was produced by New Line Cinema. Due to disappointing ratings, the series was not renewed for a second season.

Plot

When Krista Starr returns home to Detroit from service in Iraq, she discovers her bother, Zack, has been murdered. Krista tries to hunt down her brother's killer and uncovers a world of vampires she never dreamed existed. She is soon captured by Marcus Van Sciver, a wealthy businessman and upper level vampire in the House of Chthon. Marcus transforms Krista into a vampire much to Chase, Marcus' associate's, dismay. Krista, who'd encountered Blade while still human, is recruited by him to be his spy in the House of Cthon as he seeks to destroy it and undermine their plans.

Nearing the end of the series first and only season, Krista found herself increasingly drawn to Marcus, who she discovers was transformed in the 19th century after his wife's murder. Their increasing closeness only serves to put her against Chase. Whiel Blade seeks to undermine Marcus, Marcus is seeking a way of killing natural vampires, those born, rather than created. Killing them will allow Marcus and his house to gain even more power. Blade must force Krista to keep on track though her loyalties are torn between her feelings for Marcus and her obligations to Blade.
