The war between vampires and Lycans has raged for centuries, fueled by blood, betrayal, and the promise of eternal life. But in Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire, that promise shatters. The eternal war has found its greatest nightmare—not a rival faction, not an ancient prophecy, but something far more terrifying: the end of immortality itself.

With Kate Beckinsale, Theo James, Tobias Menzies, and India Eisley returning, Rise of the Vampire positions itself not just as another chapter in the saga—but as a brutal reinvention of everything the Underworld universe stands for.

A New Kind of Predator

Deep beneath the ancient streets of Budapest, something stirs. Not a vampire lord awakened from torpor. Not a Lycan alpha clawing back from extinction. This new entity defies classification. It does not crave blood for survival—it feeds on immortality itself.

Every encounter leaves devastation in its wake. Vampires stripped of their ageless power begin to age within hours. Lycans lose their regenerative abilities, their bodies collapsing under the weight of suddenly fragile flesh. Worse still, the process drives its victims violently insane. Centuries of memory, power, and identity unravel overnight.

Covens fall in a single evening. Lycans turn on their own. The balance that once defined the Underworld doesn’t tilt—it explodes.

Selene: The Last Constant in a Broken World

At the center of the chaos stands Selene (Kate Beckinsale), the franchise’s unshakable core. But this is not the Selene audiences first met. Time—once meaningless to her—has become a threat. For the first time, she must confront the possibility of mortality not as a theoretical danger, but as an imminent reality.

Selene is no longer just a warrior caught between factions. She becomes a guardian of something far rarer than bloodlines or thrones: the right to remain what they are. Beckinsale’s return promises a colder, sharper performance—less rage, more resolve. Selene doesn’t fight for dominance anymore. She fights for survival in a world where forever has an expiration date.
