First Kill is a new series by Netflix that has enough pop culture references for every one. It has a little bit of Twilight and Romeo Juliet.

Netflix’s ‘First Kill’ Combines ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’, ‘Twilight’, and ‘Killing Eve’ Into a Queer Vampire Romance Drama – Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Meddling parents complicate teen love like nothing else. Also, hidden
identities, and High school, too. As well as a desire for blood. All of this and
more will be explored in a new Netflix series, demonstrating that vampires are
always in trend. First Kill by Netflix has been compared to a mix of Buffy The
Vampire Slayer and Killing Eve, according to critics.

So here is everything you need to prepare yourself for the new full of blood and
love series by Netflix.


WHAT IS THE FIRST KILL BY NETFLIX ABOUT?

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. It is based on a short story by horror writer V. E. Schwab that
was originally published in the 2020 anthology “Vampires Never Get Old: Tales
With Fresh Bite.” 



But their connection rapidly becomes complex when they learn their true
identities: Calliope is the daughter of a long line of vampire hunters, and
Juliette is a “legacy,” a kid born into a vampire family. To make matters worse.
Both of their families are preparing them for their “first kills,” a rite of
passage for vampires and hunters alike.


WHAT ARE THE CAST OF THE SHOW AND THE RELEASE DATE?

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 feature alongside Lewis and Hook in First Kill.
