First Kill

Though Netflix has yet to renew 'First Kill' for a second season, the teen vampire drama's finale left multiple cliffhangers to resolve.

Following the painful split, both characters were in obvious pain, and there’s sure to be a reconciliation, or at least an attempt at doing so, ahead in Season 2. Though Roberts was announced as a producer in October 2020 following a reported bidding war, the full cast wasn’t announced until May 2021. Here’s everything we know so far about a potential First Kill Season 2. “The fan support for the show already is bananas. As it turns out though, Calliope “Cal” Burns (Imani Lewis), the new girl in town Juliette set her sights on, is a vampire hunter from a celebrated family of slayers. Based on a short story by bestselling author Victoria “V.E.” Schwab, who also created and wrote the sapphic fantasy teen drama, First Kill centers on legacy teenage vampire Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook), who’s tasked with claiming her first victim to take her place within her powerful family of bloodsuckers.

Netflix's 2022 vampire YA romance, First Kill, has officially been released. Whether you're into vampires, queer romance, or teen stories, First Kill has a ...

In the era of prestige television, it can be easy to dismiss a show like First Kill. Shows about supernatural teenagers rarely get the respect they deserve, especially if they don’t have the budget of Stranger Things. But they can be formative for the teens that watch them. The monsters feel like they’re made for children, but the love story is a clear teenage romance, and this conflict could cause some viewers to lose interest. The fact that Juliette is a “legacy” vampire is mentioned constantly, but the audience is never really told what that means in practice. The threat to Juliette and Calliope doesn’t come from a monster of the week or an anonymous big bad, it comes from their parents. It’s established early on that Savannah has a history of being overrun by monsters, but the extent of that history, or what it might mean for the human characters on the show, is murky at best. And the special effects used to enhance these mystical creatures are uneven — some are completely CGI, others are very clearly just actors in heavy makeup — and this imbalance only makes them look more out of place. All the popular vampire shows or movies in the past two decades feature some kind of Romeo and Juliet storyline — The Vampire Diaries’ Stefan and Elena or Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Angel and Buffy — and First Kill doesn’t shy away from these pop culture comparisons. Vamps aside, the Burnses fight ghouls and shapeshifting beasts, all of which look like they walked straight off of the Buffy set in 1999. But Juliette is a rare breed, a legacy vamp with a conscience who is desperate to avoid killing at all costs. But when she finally goes to shoot her shot, Juliette is met with a stake straight to the heart. Hook is especially intriguing, playing Juliette with just the right mix of teenage aloofness and sexual frustration. Based on a short story by V.E. Schwab, First Kill follows Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook), a legacy vampire living in plain sight with her vampire family in Savannah, Georgia. (In First Kill, being a legacy vamp means you’re born, not made, though how exactly this happens is unclear.) At 16, the blood pills she’s lived off of her entire life are losing their efficacy, and it’s time for her to make her first kill.

Given that the show is yet to be renewed by Netflix, there's no word on a First Kill season 2 release date at the moment, but Netflix tend to release seasons of their shows on an annual basis. With that in mind, here's everything you need to know about First Kill season 2 including the release date, cast, spoilers, trailers and more. Season 1 ends with Cal and Juliette breaking up so it's possible that our fave star-crossed couple will get back together in season 2 or they could have entirely new love interests.

What really counts is what's happening with Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Cal (Imani Lewis). After learning that Juliette was the one who turned her ...

Netflix gave the production order for First Kill Season 1 in October of 2020. This first season also ended with Juliette’s sister Elinor (Gracie Dzienny) in jail, her mother Margot (Elizabeth Mitchell) being called to testify in a vampiric trial, and Theo’s parents fighting each other about the fate of their son. After that, the first season premiered on June 10, 2022. Typically, it takes Netflix a few weeks before the streaming service announces whether there will be another season of a new show. Basically, if a lot of people watch First Kill, there will likely be more seasons. If you’re looking for something to make your inner 14-year-old girl ecstatic, First Kill is here for you.

We'll be waiting just as thirstily as you. Not to mention how will he cope as the hunted? Now a bloodsucker, the same evil that killed his mother, will he be able to make peace with who he is? Theo's fate was also dicey by the close of season one with the newly turned vampire on the run. Their relationship was left hanging in the balance and we are desperate for a happy resolution. Juliette's accidentally turning Calliope's dying brother Theo into a vampire was the final straw for an already strained relationship and the two parted ways.

Instead, Hook and Lewis’ complete lack of chemistry makes their dynamic so stilted that these moments come out of nowhere to land with an awkward thud. (If anyone has chemistry on this show, it’s maybe Mitchell and Wise as their clashing mothers, but maybe that’s just the exhaustion of trying to locate a spark on this show talking.) Sunk by a noxious combination of flat writing and flatter directing, the actors never get enough runway to make these characters anything but facsimiles of overwrought tropes. Instead, “First Kill” hangs Hook and Lewis out to dry with uninspired faux “banter” and poorly staged “sexy” scenes. The Romeo and Juliet parallels are of course intentional, but too obvious to be particularly clever, Sapphic twist or no. Over the course of eight episodes, all of which drop on Netflix today (June 10) when the review embargo tellingly also lifts, the drama follows Juliette and Calliope (aka “Cal”) as they struggle to balance their birthrights with not just the hell that is high school, but their immediate attraction to each other.

On June 10, the complete first season of First Kill was released on Netflix and people couldn't wait to feast their eyes upon the new vampire series. What's ...

It’s really up to the subscribers to stream the first season so that a First Kill season 2 could be made possible. Fingers crossed, we get to see a First Kill season 2! The good news is that the writers ended the first season with several cliffhangers, so it looks like there are already plans for a second season. So without further ado, here’s what we know about a First Kill season 2! On June 10, the complete first season of First Kill was released on Netflix and people couldn’t wait to feast their eyes upon the new vampire series. Now they’re left wondering if there will be a First Kill season 2.

Throughout the season, vampire Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) and vampire hunter Cal (Imani Lewis) have been yearning for one another as their romance has ...

Together, Juliette and Oliver give the key to Elinor’s storage locker to the police, where they find the driver’s licenses of the dozens of people Elinor has killed over the years. Determined to keep this unfortunate turn of events under wraps, Margot (Elizabeth Mitchell) decides it’s her time to be the new Keeper, eager to step into the role and leave her mother in the past with most of her outdated traditions. Where the family stands at the end of the episode is unclear, as all three children are quite separated from their parents. However, it isn’t until the confrontation when Elinor threatens the rest of the Burns family that Juliette makes the decision to join Oliver and take Elinor down for her crimes. With so much on the line going into the season finale, as Oliver (Dylan McNamara) continues trying to get Juliette on his side and with relationships up in the air, the season finale is completely game-changing. Instead, she helps him escape, taking him to Oliver to stay alive, be safe, and learn control. After the fight with Elinor (Gracie Dzienny), Cal and Juliette walk into the bathroom to see Theo (Phillip Mullings Jr.) and Apollo (Dominic Goodman) on the floor, with Theo seemingly having bled out. Everything is too loud, too bright, and the thirst for blood is unquenchable. While she’s terrified of what’s happening to him, Jack (Jason R. Moore) immediately takes action and straps Theo down in the family’s basement, preparing to defeat the monster that, in his eyes, has taken the place of his now-dead son. Out of the four other Burnses, Talia is the only one absolutely dead set on not murdering Theo, while both Cal and Apollo side with their father and refuse to believe that any part of their brother remains. The first season of Netflix’s First Kill has come to a truly unpredictable end. Their bond has created quite a few obstacles — for themselves and others — and led to several near-death experiences, forcing the two to lean on each other more than anyone else.

At the center of Netflix's First Kill is Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook), a Legacy—pure-blood—vampire and Calliope Burns (Imani Lewis), a vampire ...

They are behind the resurgence of monsters in the area and because of them, the townsfolk are hip to monsters in their midst and mobilized to fight them. After being exiled from the family for being particularly sadistic—which he blames on his twin, Elinor—he comes back to Savannah to exact revenge and wreak havoc on the Fairmonts. He wants his parents and twin sister to suffer as he did, and he wants to turn Juliette against them. He and Apollo (Dominic Goodman) search for the family a crest belongs to, and Apollo goes to Elinor (Gracie Dzienny) for help identifying the crest. And after convincing the family to leave her alone with Theo to say her goodbyes, she escapes with him, and takes him to Juliette’s brother, Oliver (Dylan McNamara). Calliope and Apollo go home to tell their parents Theo is dead, but Theo is there when they arrive. The Burns lead an unsuccessful raid on the Fairmonts and lose two friends and fellow hunters while failing to kill any of the legacies. Both families have to fight to maintain power within their respective cultural hierarchies, all while contending with their family drama, and the people of Savannah who know monsters are back in their city. Now Elinor and Margot (Elizabeth Mitchell) have to keep up appearances so the other families can’t make a claim for the serpent. Talia against Jack, then against both the Guild—who no longer trusts them—and the monsters amassing in Savannah. When the girls see each other at school the next day, they both have to confront their fears… Early on, the blood capsules Juliette takes to curb her appetite become ineffective, and she needs to feed before she loses control. Both girls are next up in their families to take on their first kill, but their feelings for one another complicate things.
