Lost vet Elizabeth Mitchell is taking on a bloodthirsty new gig in the Netflix vampire hunter series First Kill.
In the drama — based on a short story by author Victoria “V. E.” Schwab — “it’s time for teenage vampire Juliette (played by Sarah Catherine Hook) to make her first kill so she can take her place among a powerful vampire family,” per the official synopsis. “She sets her sights on a new girl in town named Calliope (Star‘s Imani Lewis). But much to Juliette’s surprise, Calliope is a vampire hunter, from a family of celebrated slayers. Both find that the other won’t be so easy to kill and, unfortunately, way too easy to fall for.”
Mitchell will portray Margot, who is part of the Fairmont vampire family. The cast also includes Aubin Wise (Atlanta), Jason Robert Moore (The Punisher), Gracie Dzienny (Zoo, Chasing Life), Will Swenson (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Phillip Mullings Jr. (American Soul), Dominic Goodman (Young Rock) and Dylan McNamara (L.A.’s Finest).
