After a long wait, the sixth installment of the famous action-horror series Underworld has finally been released with the title Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire (2025). The film continues to explore the thousand-year war between vampires and werewolves, while revealing new mysteries about the history and future of both species.

After the events of Underworld: Blood Wars (2016), Selene (Kate Beckinsale) defeated Marius and brought new hope to the vampires. However, peace is only temporary. A mysterious force, older than the pure-blooded vampire race, rises from the darkness. It is a secret society of vampires called “The First Blood” – those who possess superior power and ambition to dominate all.

When Selene discovers their existence, she realizes that the secrets of vampire origins are not yet fully revealed. To protect her clan and prevent a devastating war, she must team up with unexpected allies – including a mysterious Lycan with powerful mixed blood.

Highlights
✅ Kate Beckinsale returns: Despite previously declaring that she would no longer participate in Underworld, Kate Beckinsale is officially back as Selene, promising eye-catching battles.
✅ Uncovering the past of vampires: Rise of the Vampire delves into the ancient origins of this undead race, revealing forces even more powerful than Viktor and Marcus before.
Viktor and Marcus were once considered the first and most powerful vampires, but Rise of the Vampire reveals that they were not the true originators.

The film will explore an ancient legend that vampires do not have just one bloodline. Before Marcus was bitten by a bat and became the first vampire in Underworld: Evolution, an even more ancient entity carried the original immortal blood.
This raises the possibility that there is a true “father” of all vampires, one whose power far surpasses that of the Elders we know.
Toby Kebbell is rumored to play Lucien Primus, the leader of the First Blood.
Unlike Viktor, who only rules the vampires through politics and power, or Marcus, who has the ability to shapeshift and fly, Lucien Primus can manipulate the blood of others, transform bodies, and even absorb memories from victims.

His power is said to surpass that of the Elders who came before him, as he carries the purest blood of the immortals.
✅ The Lycans’ alliance: Selene is forced to team up with her arch-nemesis to confront a greater threat.
✅ Action and top-notch effects: Bloody battles, epic effects and upgraded vampire-werewolf designs promise to satisfy fans.
