Another Netflix series' chances of seeing a second season have been staked. The streaming service has cancelled its First Kill TV show after one season of eight episodes.
A supernatural teen drama series, the First Kill TV show was created by Victoria Schwab and is based on her short story of the same name. It stars Imani Lewis, Sarah Catherine Hook, Elizabeth Mitchell, Will Swenson, Aubion Wise, Jason Robert Moore, Gracie Dzienny, Dylan McNamara, Dominic Goodman, Phillip Mullings Jr., Mk xyz, Jonas Dylan Allen, and Roberto Mendez. The story revolves around Juliette (Hook), a teenage vampire about to make her first kill so that she can take her place among a powerful vampire family. She sets her sights on a new girl in town named Calliope (Lewis). However, much to Juliette's surprise, Calliope is a vampire hunter and comes from...

Netflix has driven a stake into “First Kill,” deciding against picking up the teenage vampire series for a second season. The news comes nearly two months after the streamer debuted all eight episodes of the show’s first season in early June.
Sources close to the matter maintain that Netflix is proud of the work that producers, cast and crew put in on the series, though the decision came down to a matter of viewing numbers versus cost.
Based on a short story from horror writer V. E. Schwab, “First Kill” followed Calliope (Imani Lewis) and Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook), two teenage girls who fall for one another, but come from warring families: one a dynasty of vampire hunters, the other a line of bloodsuckers.
The series also starred Elizabeth Mitchell, Will Swenson, Aubion Wise, Jason Robert Moore, Gracie Dzienny, Dylan McNamara, Dominic Goodman, Phillip Mullings Jr., Mk xyz, Jonas Dylan Allen and Roberto Mendez.

"You can't be together, it won't work." "I've forbidden you from seeing her." Netflix has revealed the main official trailer for a series titled First Kill, which is the polar opposite of the other First Love trailer we also posted today. This series is a spin on "first love" but about teenage lesbian vampires - with a tagline saying "you never forget your first." Of course not. Falling in love is tricky for teens Juliette and Calliope: One's a vampire, the other's a vampire hunter and both are ready to make their first kill. Sarah Catherine Hook & Imani Lewis star as Juliette & Calliope (aka "Cal"), along with an ensemble cast: Elizabeth Mitchell, Will Swenson, Aubion Wise, Jason Robert Moore, Gracie Dzienny, Dylan McNamara, Dominic Goodman, Phillip Mullings Jr., Mk xyz, Jonas Dylan Allen, and Roberto Mendez. This looks extra cheesy - combining bland first love tropes with the rivalry from the Underworld series.

Netflix is giving a first taste of its upcoming vampire lesbian love story “First Kill.” The streamer released a trailer for the new young adult series, which is set to debut June 10.
Based on a short story from horror writer V. E. Schwab, which was originally published in the 2020 anthology “Vampires Never Get Old: Tales With Fresh Bite,” the series stars Imani Lewis and Sarah Catherine Hook as Calliope and Juliette, two teenage girls who have a meet-cute at their high school and fall head over heels in love. But their relationship gets complicated quickly when they discover their hidden identities: Calliope is the daughter of a long family line of vampire hunters, while Juliette is a “legacy,” a child born to a vampire family. To make matters worse, both of their families are preparing them for their “first kills,” an important rite of passage for vampire and hunter.

Forget the Montagues and Capulets, blood feuds don’t get more bloody than those between vampires and vampire hunters — which means the romance is even more forbidden and the body count certainly seems to be much higher in the trailer for Netflix’s “First Kill.”
Starring Sarah Catherine Hook (“The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”) as a young vampire, Juliette, and Imani Lewis (“Eighth Grade”) as Calliope, a vampire hunter from a long line of slayers, “First Kill” delivers a bloody YA twist on the forbidden lovers trope when the unlikely pair falls for each other. Watch the romance and warfare unfold in the trailer above.
Created by best-selling author V. E. Schwab (Shades of Magic series), “First Kill” also stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Margo, Will Swenson as Sebastian, Aubion Wise as Talia, Jason Robert Moore as Jack, Gracie Dzienny as Elinor, Dylan McNamara as Oliver, Dominic Goodman as Apollo,...
