The Best Vampire Show You’ve Never Seen Debuted 4 Years Ago (& It’s Streaming Free)

Firebite is an Australian drama series with eight episodes that first aired on December 16, 2021, four years ago. Created by Warwick Thornton and Brendan Fletcher, this AMC+ original didn’t get much attention outside of Australia. The show is set in the fictional mining town of Opal City, based on Coober Pedy, and follows Tyson Walker (Rob Collins) and his adopted daughter Shanika (Shantae Barnes-Cowan) as they try to eliminate the last group of vampires. These vampires are hiding in the old opal mines under the desert. Unlike the vampires in shows like Twilight or Castlevania, the creatures in Firebite aren’t glamorous or heroic – they’re seen as dangerous pests and a long-standing problem that Tyson and Shanika are determined to destroy.
