The Van

The Van

Kids gifted with strange powers have grown up under the thumb of the vicious and intelligent driver of the van Novia-Scotia. Seventeen year old Cola’s life in the van is shaken up when her older “sister” Rosaline has disappeared and she realizes Nova will stop at nothing to find her. What will happen when she does? And what will happen to Cola as she nears adulthood, the age when kids in the van seem to slip away?

Episode Notes

Transcript: Hey all! Em here, the creator of the Van. It’s been a while, I know. There’s been a pandemic, health problems, grad school and so many other things to wade through and I’m sorry you had to wait so long for an update. As of right now, work on the Van is back up and running and I’m here to announce the release of episode one of the final season (season 2). The episode is called Dead Fires will be releasing it on July 21st of this year! Thank you so much for your patience. In addition, if you still have not received physical kickstarter perks, they will all be sent out on June 25th. The van is a project that is very personal to me and other cast and crew so make no mistake, I have not forgotten the show and I’m eager to get the rest of it to you guys. So we’ll see you again quite soon. In the meantime, drink a milkshake or something.
