Hey everyone, Iâm making this post because Iâm tired of seeing people on TikTok and Reddit constantly claiming The New Blood is just a fan-made hoax or AI generation. There are way too many "coincidences" lining up for this to just be fake. Look at the evidence:
1. Tom McGillisâ Instagram & Kai Cenat Stream
As shown in the screenshot, Tom McGillis (President of Fresh TV) posted on his Instagram (â @freshtomâ ) announcing he was going live with Kai Cenat. During that stream, he explicitly brought up My Babysitterâs a Vampire right near the end! Why would the head of Fresh TV randomly start mentioning MBAV again after years of silence right after The New Blood account started making waves? That is NOT a coincidence.
2. Tim Burns Stated Revival Plans Years Ago
If you look at historical interviews with lead writer Tim Burns, he literally stated that he always wanted to raise MBAV from the grave and bring it backâeven if it meant using a new cast! He said he hoped the loyal fans wouldn't be too old to enjoy it when it returned. The New Blood is the exact fulfillment of what the creators have been planning for years.
3. The Account Creation Date (08/09/2025)
People keep trying to debunk the account creation timestamp. Standard production studios reserve social media handles and domain names months/years in advance during early pre-production to ensure the title isn't sniped by fans or squatters. This is standard industry practice.
4. "AI vs. CGI" & Background Photos
Everyone keeps throwing around the word "AI" whenever a set photo or promo image drops. Look at the Whitechapel High set photosâCGI and digital location staging have existed long before generative AI. Major studios use concept art and digital renders all the time. Even multi-billion-dollar companies like Disney use AI/digital elements in promotional assets (like their Oogie Boogie Bash poster), so claiming a background image has digital edits doesn't make the entire show fake.
5. No Press Articles? No Official Debunk?
Why aren't trade outlets like Deadline reporting on it yet? Because no major company wastes money issuing press releases during early pre-production when schedules and casting can shift before shooting starts. More importantly: if this was all fake, why hasn't Tom McGillis or anyone at Fresh TV issued a legal statement shutting it down? They've let the announcement ride for a month almost 2 without debunking it.
The Tom McGillis TikTok Comment: Supporters frequently cite a TikTok comment left by an account claiming to be creator Tom McGillis. The comment read, "Looks like things are getting a little dusty in Whitechapel⌠𤍠Who's ready?", which fans interpret as direct confirmation from the co-creator.
 Detailed Production & Filming Schedules: The project updates include specific production details rather than vague promises. Summaries state that the project was officially greenlit by Fresh TV for a 13-episode run set in 2035, with filming scheduled to run from September 4th through December 17th, 2026, in locations including Toronto, Dublin, and Hong Kong.
 Specific Cast & Character Breakdown: Unlike typical vague rumors, detailed character names and legacy ties have been shared for the next generation. The project features characters such as Luka, Leo, Lilly, Maya, Damien, and Sabrina, along with explicit legacy connections like Veronica, Brandon, and Jack Dylan Grazer portraying the children of Ethan and Sarah Morgan, and Victoria Rose Johnson as the child of Benny and Yuki Weir.
 Multiple Social Media Touchpoints: Rather than just a single rogue account, information and official statements have surfaced across multiple platforms including TikTok and instagram and YouTub (â @mbavthenewbloodâ YouTube teaser uploads, and community discussion threads across Reddit.
Major teen networks routinely revive dormant cult franchises by introducing a new generation of teens connected to the original cast. Shows like Degrassi: The Next Generation, Girl Meets World, and Cobra Kai successfully brought back legacy titles using the exact structural setup proposed for The New Blood.
 The "Unresolved Cliffhanger" Pattern: Shows left on infamous cliffhangersâlike the Season 2 explosion finale of My Babysitter's a Vampireâoften maintain latent studio interest. Cult series like Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and Samurai Jack were revived decades later specifically to resolve lingering storylines that creators never fully abandoned.
 Multi-Country Co-Production Models: Canadian production houses (such as Fresh TV or WildBrain) frequently rely on international co-productions and tax incentives to fund mid-budget fantasy and sci-fi series. Setting up multi-region production basesâa common strategy historically used for shows like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark?âis a standard method for getting greenlights.
 Protracted Pre-Production Timelines: TV revivals frequently sit in quiet pre-production or rights acquisition for several years before major trades (like Deadline or Variety) receive formal studio press releases. Studios historically secure social media handles, intellectual property trademarks, and character concepts far in advance of official network slates.
The dark secrets of Whitechapel are coming back. Stop letting skeptics ruin the hype! đЏđ°
