What happens

My Babysitter's a Vampire (Canadian French: Ma gardienne est un vampire) is a Canadian television series, based on the 2010 television film of the same name. In Canada, the series premiered in French on Télétoon on February 28, 2011, in English on Teletoon on March 14, 2011, and on Disney Channel in the United States on June 27, 2011, and finished airing October 5, 2012, on Disney and April 11, 2013, on Télétoon. The show was created by Fresh TV, creators of 6teen, Total Drama, and Stoked. The show follows Ethan Morgan (Matthew Knight), who, in the television film, learns that his babysitter Sarah (Vanessa Morgan) is a vampire. In the film, he learns he is able to have visions and his best friend Benny Weir (Atticus Mitchell) is a spellmaster. The series follows the three as they take on supernatural forces and have adventures, with occasional help from fellow vampires Rory (Cameron Kennedy) and Erica (Kate Todd), while dealing with the troubles of regular high school life. A second season was confirmed to start production in September 2011 and it first premiered on Disney Channel on June 29, 2012, it premiered on Teletoon September 6, 2012. Télétoon started featuring season 2 sneak-peek episodes on October 28, 2012, and premiered it on January 10, 2013. On September 18, 2013, Fresh TV Inc. announced the show was not picked up for a third season, but were exploring a possible second movie, which did not come to fruition. On November 3, 2015, a fan contacted Tim Burns, one of the lead writers and executive producers of the show, via Facebook, asking about the possibility of a third season, or at least an answer as to why it didn't already exist. Burns responded the next day, on November 4, 2015, saying, "all I can sai [say] is that we tried very hard to make a season 3, or a second movie, happen. The ‘Lucifractor’ storyline was my idea in the first place, and I DID have some solutions in mind for how we would continue the story... I even created a few different scenarios for the second movie. But we hit nothing but problems with broadcasters, budgets, and some difficulties keeping the cast together. It's not surprising that such talented young actors want to move on to other things". Burns also expressed hope for the idea of a possible revival for the show in the future, even it meant using different actors, and said, "If we ever find a way to raise MBV from the grave, I hope you and the other loyal fans aren’t too old to still enjoy iy [It]".
