Blood Ties

Blood Ties follows Vicki Nelson, a sharp Toronto detective who teams with Henry Fitzroy, an ancient vampire living in modern times, to solve crimes the police cant crack alone. The partnership blends grit with supernatural help as they chase killers and confront dangers that blur lines between human law and immortal secrets. Vicki's street smarts and moral compass push back against Henry's centuries of experience and his magnetic charm. Based on Tanya Huff's Blood Books and created by Peter Mohan, the show is set in a city that feels like a living character. It premiered on Lifetime in March 2007 in the US and later aired in Canada on Citytv and Space. Lifetime did not renew it in 2008.

Created by Tanya Huff and Peter Mohan, Blood Ties adapts Huff's Blood Books for television. The Toronto set drama premiered on Lifetime in March 2007 in the United States and later aired in Canada on Citytv and Space.

Blood Ties sits in the lineage of Canadian vampire drama and adds a grounded urban crime angle to the lore. Its mix of police procedure with supernatural elements helped popularize vampire intrigue on cable in the late 2000s and influenced later genre blending, particularly in Toronto productions. Fans praised the lead performances and its urban atmosphere.

The show blends a noir detective mood with supernatural politics and centers on a tough female investigator paired with a centuries old vampire. Toronto is a strong backdrop, not just scenery, and the series looks at loyalty, trust, and moral choices when crime and immortality intersect. Its tone favors character driven dialogue over action.
