Is There A Modern Carmilla Web Series To Watch?

If you want a modern 'Carmilla' to watch, yes — there’s the 2014 web series 'Carmilla' that I still recommend. It’s a campus-set retelling of the original novella, delivered in short, vlog-style episodes on YouTube. I found it addictive: smart dialogue, charming leads, and a lovely queer romance that actually matters to the plot. There’s also 'The Carmilla Movie' if you want more after the series. It’s perfect for nights when I want urban-goth vibes without heavy commitment, and it’s easy to jump into from episode one.

I’ve told my friends about 'Carmilla' more than once because it’s such a fresh modern spin on an old gothic story. It’s a web series produced in the mid-2010s that updates Sheridan Le Fanu’s tale to a campus vlog format, so you get mystery, queer romance, and a lot of witty banter compressed into short episodes. The episodes live on YouTube (look for the official channel) and the show’s popularity even spawned 'The Carmilla Movie', which was crowdfunded to give fans a proper continuation and conclusion.

What I like is how accessible it is: you don’t need to commit to long episodes, and the fandom around it made finding recaps, fanart, and commentary super easy. If you enjoy shows that mix humor with slow-burn relationships and a dash of horror, this modern 'Carmilla' is worth a weekend binge. Plus, watching it now gives you a little nostalgia for how web series used to build communities around queer stories.

I stumbled on 'Carmilla' during a late-night YouTube spiral and it immediately felt modern and refreshing. The 2014 web series flips the old novella into a university mystery told through vlogs and shorts — a format that makes it super bingeable. The leads have great chemistry, the writing is witty, and the queer romance is handled with real care. After the series, fans helped fund 'The Carmilla Movie', which continues the story in a more cinematic way. I’d suggest starting from episode one and watching straight through; the character arcs and small mysteries are what make the whole thing click for me.

I get asked about modern vampire retellings a lot, and when people mean 'Carmilla', they’re usually talking about the indie web series that reimagined the 19th-century story for the internet age. What I appreciate is the clever way it translates the novella’s eerie intimacy into a school mystery with vlogs, social media jokes, and character-driven slow-burn romance. The series aired in short seasons on YouTube, and because the creators built a real fanbase, they were able to fund 'The Carmilla Movie' later on to tie things together.

If you want to watch it, the straightforward route is to go to the official YouTube channel and start at the first episode—don’t skip around, because the story rewards continuity. Expect some camp, genuine emotion, and a tight mystery. And if you’re into companion content, the fandom’s made a ton of fanworks and analysis videos that expand on the themes of identity and consent in the show.

Finding a modern take on 'Carmilla' felt like stumbling into a tiny, thrilling corner of the internet for me. The web series 'Carmilla' (the 2014–2016 one) is exactly that: a contemporary reimagining of Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella, set at a university with vlogs, mystery, and a wonderfully queer-centric vibe. I binged it on YouTube via the KindaTV channel and loved how it kept the gothic atmosphere but made everything bright, snarky, and very now.

The cast—especially Natasha Negovanlis as Carmilla and Elise Bauman as Laura—brought a chemistry that turned what could’ve been pulp into something genuinely tender and funny. There are three seasons of short episodes, plus a crowdfunded continuation called 'The Carmilla Movie' that wraps up some big plot threads. The production feels polished for a web series, with smart writing, inside jokes for fans of fandom culture, and a pace that rewards watching from the start rather than randomly jumping in.

If you’re curious, start at episode one on KindaTV and let the characters grow on you; the show’s blend of mystery, romance, and meta-humor still holds up and it’s a great gateway into modern vampire stories with heart.
