Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire marks the return of the dark, action-packed gothic world of vampires and Lycans (werewolves), with Selene, the iconic Death Dealer, back for one final, epic battle. After years of silence, this sixth installment promises to dive deeper into the origins of the vampire race, exploring new layers of myth and power in a fight for dominance that could alter the fate of both species forever.
The teaser trailer opens with a desolate and ancient fortress, hidden deep in the mountains, where an ominous voiceover speaks: “Before the war, there was only blood… and darkness.” The camera moves through shadowy corridors, revealing symbols etched in stone and ancient artifacts that hint at the original vampire’s rise to power. These visuals set the tone for a prelude to the bloody history of the Underworld saga, while also teasing the future of the vampire race.
We are quickly reintroduced to Selene (Kate Beckinsale), the legendary vampire warrior, who remains battle-worn yet unbroken. After years of hiding, Selene is called back into action as a new and more dangerous faction of vampires rises from the shadows, threatening not only the Lycans but also Selene’s own kind. This new vampire faction, known as the “Primordials,” claims direct descent from the original vampire—an ancient, god-like being who has awakened after centuries of slumber.
Flashes of high-octane action follow, showing Selene in sleek black armor, engaging in brutal fights with Lycans and newly empowered Primordials. There are intense sequences of swordplay, gunfire, and acrobatic combat as Selene faces off against overwhelming forces. Her signature combat style—fluid and lethal—returns in full force as she battles to protect the remnants of her vampire clan while also searching for answers about this ancient bloodline.
The trailer also hints at the return of familiar faces, including David (Theo James), the hybrid vampire-Lycan, and possibly Michael (Scott Speedman), as well as the introduction of new, powerful allies and enemies. The lore behind the vampire origins takes center stage, with the Primordials wielding supernatural powers far beyond what the vampires of previous films have shown.
In the background of this ancient war, the Lycans are regrouping, with whispers of a final uprising to crush the vampire race once and for all. The teaser hints at massive battles between armies of vampires and Lycans, with sprawling, gothic landscapes and crumbling cities serving as the battlegrounds.
The final moments of the teaser show Selene standing atop a ruined fortress, looking down at the growing armies, her eyes glowing ice-blue. A final voiceover from Selene declares: “I’ve fought for centuries, but this war… this war is the end of all things.” The screen fades to black, leaving viewers on edge for what could be the most explosive and climactic chapter of the Underworld series.
With a rumored budget of $100–120 million, Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire promises a visually stunning return to the series’ dark, gothic aesthetic, featuring cutting-edge action sequences and an epic storyline that dives deep into the origins of the vampire race. The film is set to push the boundaries of the vampire-Lycan conflict while offering fans a final, thrilling chapter in Selene’s journey as the ultimate Death Dealer.
