In Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire, the franchise dives deeper into the ancient bloodlines and explores a darker mythology. Kate Beckinsale reprises her iconic role as Selene with fierce determination, facing a new threat: an ancient vampire overlord resurrected to reclaim dominion over both species.

The action sequences are slick, stylized, and brutal. Gothic visuals, haunting underground lairs, and snow-drenched battlefields intensify the atmosphere. Selene teams up with a rogue Lycan named Kael (played by Sam Claflin) to uncover long-buried secrets that may change the course of the war forever.

While the plot follows familiar beats, the emotional stakes feel higher this time. Themes of sacrifice, identity, and legacy elevate the narrative. The climax is a visual spectacle with surprising twists that will leave fans craving more.

In Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire, the saga returns with a darker, more mature tone, delving into the ancient roots of the vampire-Lycan conflict. The film picks up several years after the events of Blood Wars, with Selene (Kate Beckinsale) now living in the shadows, presumed dead by both sides. Haunted by the loss of her daughter and the betrayal of her kind, she’s drawn back into the war when whispers of a new vampire overlord—Valek, an ancient being believed to be the original progenitor of the vampire race—begin to spread.

Valek (portrayed menacingly by Mads Mikkelsen) has risen with one goal: to purify the vampire bloodline by destroying all hybrids and eliminating the Lycans once and for all. His army is faster, stronger, and controlled by a blood magic unseen in the series before. To stop him, Selene must form an unlikely alliance with Kael (Sam Claflin), a rebel Lycan with a mysterious connection to her past.
