‘First Kill’ Showrunner Blames Netflix Show’s Cancellation On Marketing That Never Went Beyond Teen Lesbian Vampire Element - Deadline

On Tuesday, Netflix put a stake in First Kill after just one season.

In the series, teenage vampire Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) sets out to make her first kill so she can take her place among a powerful vampire family.

Both find that the other won’t be so easy to kill and, unfortunately, way too easy to fall for.

“I so enthusiastically signed on to this show [because] it has something for everyone,” Henderson said in an interview today with the Daily Beast, “strong women leads, supernatural intrigue, an epic, Shakespearean battle between warring families, and a prominently featured Black family in the genre space, something Black viewers crave and a general audience needs to be treated to.”.

7 with 30.3M hours viewed.

3 in its first full week of release with 48.8M hours viewed, trailing only Stranger Things Season 4 and Peaky Blinders Season 6.

Henderson executive produced First Kill alongside Schwab as well as Roberts and Karah Preiss through Belletrist Productions
