First Kill is one of the newest Netflix projects that deals with two rivalling families that are bound by love.

‘First Kill’ Cast and Showrunner Explain How the Netflix Vampire Movie Goes Beyond Monsters and Monster Hunters

There are literally a hundred stories about gruesomely violent vampires based
all around the fights and deaths. The ever-lasting struggle between monsters and
monster hunters is something that the world can never have enough of. However,
Netflix has taken matters into its own hands to change the narrative with its
new show, First Kill. We are finally going to get a vampire story that is not
just about blood, killing, and hunting. 

Just a few days ahead of the big release of the Netflix drama series First Kill,
the cast and showrunner sat down to talk about the series. And the fans will be
really glad to know that the series is much more than your regular vampire
story. And in the clip, they talked about a lot of the reasons why they think it
is like that.

So, with no further ado, let us dive right into the story of First Kill and how
it changes the age-old vampire trope.


HOW FIRST KILL BY NETFLIX IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MONSTER STORIES OUT THERE

On its surface, First Kill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/first-kill/] seems to
be an everyday day Romeo and Juliet love story. But Netflix has transformed the
story of ill-fated lovers into something more.

While talking about the subtext of the show, Imani Lewis, who plays the monster
hunter Calliope Burns said, “Her biggest thing is just trying to prove to her
family that she deserves respect as a monster hunter, instead of just the
teenage little sister.”

Sarah Catherine Hook, who plays the Vampire Juliette, explained that Juliette is
attempting to remove herself from her vampire family and be a “normal girl.” On
the other hand, Calliope seeks a feeling of belonging.

She said, “there’s all this pressure to drop the whole ‘I want to be human, I
want to be normal’ and embrace this incredible matriarchy.”

First Kill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/first-kill] is a fantasy tale. But the
romance and family relationships give a very “human” element, according to Grace
Dzienny, who portrays Juliette’s elegant elder sister, Elinor Fairmont.

Calliope and Juliette, according to show creator Felicia D. Henderson, are two
people “who never should have fell in love.”

We will have to wait till Friday to stream

claims of the cast of the show are true or not. Meanwhile, share your
