Vampire Academy fans aren’t the only ones who want to see Dimitri (and Rose) again — so does Kieron Moore.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly about his new Netflix series Boots, Moore, 28, expressed support for Vampire Academy fans, saying, “I’m so excited for them [to see this]. They’re so loyal and have been so beautiful [to] me. It’s this beautiful thing where I’m very lucky with the Vampire Academy fans.”
Moore is grateful for viewers who have continued to watch his projects after the Peacock series was canceled far too soon.
“They trusted me with Dimitri and they’ve been so loyal as fans. But it’s been this really nice thing where they’ve gone on to watch me in other stuff and support me,” he shared. “And everyone knows this, if [author] Richelle Mead ever wants me to do a Dimitri spinoff, I am so down.”
2025 TV Wishlist: What Us Weekly Wants to See on ‘Bridgerton’ and More Shows
Vampire Academy, which premiered in 2022, quickly got Us invested in protagonist Rose’s (Sisi Stringer) romance with Dimitri (Moore). Their love story was cut short when Peacock pulled the plug on the series despite the online support for the show.
Despite the cancellation, Moore isn’t giving up on the hope that he’ll have the opportunity to reprise the role in the future. He also wouldn’t mind reuniting with former onscreen love interest Stringer in another project.
“Obviously we both want to respect Vampire Academy if it returns [in some form]. But I think with everyone on the cast, we’re all just supporting each other’s ideas and careers right now,” Moore told Us. “Sisi is so talented and if she asked me to do anything, I would do it.”
Moore has already found ways to work with his Vampire Academy costars, who became some of his best friends since the show’s end. He worked with Louisa Connolly-Burnham on her upcoming film The Intimacy Coordinator, and with Max Parker in Boots.
“We’re the only two British boys on this show and it’s a huge responsibility. We really want to make sure that we’re doing these characters a service and we had to earn our stripes a little bit. [We made] memories for a lifetime. I feel very lucky that I get to go on this journey with someone so close to me,” Moore gushed to Us. “At the same time, I’ve also made more friends like Max on this job. I’ve met beautiful friends. I speak to some of these boys every single day. We’re [in] a group chat still. I’m just really excited. Whatever happens with the show, I’m really excited for people to see it and have an opinion on it. I’m really excited for all of these boys to have their moments and they’re the next stars for sure.”
Based on Greg Cope White‘s memoir, Boots sets up a story about a gay teen who joins the American military alongside his straight best friend during the 1990s and amid the military’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy regarding LGBTQ+ servicemen and women. Moore’s Slovacek, meanwhile, is an ex-con who joins the Marines to avoid a stay in prison.
“This just felt like the right time. After Vampire Academy, I wanted to test myself as a character. That was important for me — for my humility and growth as an actor — where I just thought this was a really good pivot away after Vampire Academy to show what I can do,” he explained. “So I was really committed.”
‘Boots’ Ending Explained: Who Died? Who Broke Up? Will There Be a Season 2?
Moore was thrilled at the chance to develop a character who is more than meets the eye.
“I’ve had my own stories with bullies and there’s been bullies all my life. People look at me and think I was the bully. I’m like, ‘You have no idea.’ I was a very gentle kid, but I remember what that was like,” he recalled. “I remember getting to this age where you humanize people [like that] and you see what their upbringing was like and you get this level of understanding that they might not ever see in themselves. I didn’t want Slovacek to be reflective of that. He has a lot [to] work on.”
He continued: “But I think it’s such a beautiful form of masculinity. He needs a friend and he needs guidance but he’s just so singled off in the world. He’s a work in progress. I would love it if people watch it and go, ‘He’s a nightmare.’ But then if they watch it again, by the end they go, ‘Oh, he just doesn’t know how to make friends. This is how he makes friends.’”
While Boots appeared to wrap up every character’s story at the end of the season, fans want more. Luckily, Moore didn’t rule out a possible return if there was interest.
“I think we only scratch the surface for Slovacek ahead of season 2. If we get to go again, it’d be a really wonderful story to explore him a little bit more. I’m just hoping that audience members are curious about him,” he concluded. “All of the characters are remarkable but I know that for me and people around me, everyone knows the Slovacek that doesn’t really get the time to become something. I think he’s a very representative of a lot of young men out there that just need some guidance. They’ve got a skill and abundance, passion and abundance.
Boots is currently streaming on Netflix.

In a move stirring political debate, President Peter Mutharika directs that the headquarters of MEC, MHC, and MACRA be transferred to Blantyre, with critics calling it an attempt to erase Chakwera’s legacy.
LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-President Peter Mutharika has reportedly ordered that several major government institutions relocate their headquarters from Lilongwe to Blantyre.
According to a statement shared by former legislator and academic Dr. Jessie Kabwila on her Facebook page, the directive affects the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC), the Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC), and the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA).
Kabwila claimed that the move is part of a broader effort by Mutharika to undo some of the developments initiated by President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera during his administration.
She wrote that Mutharika’s decision appears to be politically motivated, suggesting that it reflects an attempt to diminish Chakwera’s influence and accomplishments in the capital city.
Kabwila also alleged that the president is considering relocating the headquarters of the Malawi Prison Service (MPS) from Lilongwe to Zomba.
According to her, the move might be intended to restore Mutharika’s sense of control and comfort, following what she described as years of political sidelining under Chakwera’s leadership.
The post, which has since attracted significant public attention, has reignited discussion over the long-standing regional divide between Malawi’s Northern, Central, and Southern regions.
Critics argue that such relocations risk politicizing public institutions and undermining efforts to promote balanced national development.
Others, however, believe Mutharika’s decision could decentralize operations and create new economic opportunities for Blantyre and other southern cities.
The alleged directive comes at a time when political rivalry between the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) continues to shape public discourse on governance and policy decisions.
Kabwila’s remarks, titled “History Retraced,” seem to suggest that Mutharika’s actions are an attempt to revive old political dynamics and reassert dominance over Malawi’s administrative geography.
Whether the relocations will proceed as indicated remains to be seen, but the conversation has already sparked sharp political and social reactions across the country.

Justice Ansah becomes the second woman in Malawi’s history to hold the position of Vice President, a milestone that further demonstrates the country’s progress in promoting women’s leadership and participation in governance.
In her brief remarks upon arrival, Dr. Ansah expressed gratitude for the trust placed in her by the President and the people of Malawi, promising to serve with humility, diligence, and integrity.
She emphasized the importance of unity, accountability, and transparency in government, stating that her office will work collaboratively with all ministries to advance national development and uphold the rule of law.
Justice Ansah also acknowledged the challenges Malawi faces, including economic recovery, governance reforms, and social inclusion, noting that collective action and strong moral leadership are essential in addressing them.
Her appointment has been widely praised by various sectors, with many noting her wealth of experience as a former Attorney General, Supreme Court Judge, and Malawi Electoral Commission Chairperson.

The Real Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby revealed her estranged father has died.
The reality star, 37, shared the news in a series of videos posted to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, October 12, explaining why she chose not to attend his funeral, which had taken place that day.
As Ashley has documented on RHOP over the past nine seasons, she was raised solely by her mother, Sheila Matthews, and didn’t know her dad, who she said abandoned her at age 1. She tried to make contact with him during a season 4 episode, but he refused to meet with her.
“Last week, while I was in New York … my mom informed me my father had passed away,” Ashley said in the first of four videos posted Sunday.

“Today was his funeral, and I contemplated going, almost to have my own sense of closure, but I’ve been traveling so much, and I really wanted to be with my own kids this weekend,” said Ashley, who shares sons Dean, 6, and Dylan, 4, with ex-husband Michael Darby.
“My rationale was, why would I want to take time away from my own kids for someone who never made time for me?” Ashley continued. “I found out that I have siblings — all of the things I had no idea about my father, I learned about in his obituary. I learned he liked to garden, he taught himself how to play guitar, he was an avid fisherman — really, so many of the things that I also love to do.”
Ashley went on, “In the obituary, it said his greatest accomplishment was being a dad to his two sons. It stung a little bit. Whatever. It’s interesting how you can mourn and have some sort of grieving — a unique form of grieving — for someone you have no relationship with, right? Just blood relations, but no emotional connection. That is so interesting.”
The RHOP OG said she had hoped her father might reach out before his death. She said she had learned that he was recently placed in hospice care for cancer, which she said had spread through his whole body.
“I guess what I ultimately surmise from this experience of my life, at 37, is really learning to close the door,” she said. “A door that was never opened and will never be opened. I think I’ve always held out some sort of hope that maybe, like, when my dad was in hospice, prior to him passing, maybe he’d have a wave conscience to be like, ‘Let me at least make amends.’ It’s just so weird.”
“I really can’t understand how any human being doesn’t want to love their children or can’t love a child. It is what it is. And life will certainly go on,” Ashley said.

In a subsequent video, Ashley said that before she and her mother got the news of her father’s death, she had a strange incident at her house.
“You guys know I’m very superstitious. The day that I was leaving to go to New York, these black crows were circling my house, and they were all in my yard,” she said. “I took pictures of it because it kind of creeped me out.”
