First Kill’s showrunner has claimed that Netflix reduced the teen vampire drama to a lesbian love story in its marketing before it was cancelled.
Henderson also claimed that Netflix hadn’t marketed all these aspects of the show and had simply sold it as a lesbian love story.
First Kill starred Imani Lewis, Sarah Catherine Hook and Lost star Elizabeth Mitchell and followed the love story between vampire Juliette and vampire hunter Calliope.
On Tuesday (2 August), it was announced that Netflix’s LGBTQ+ teen vampire drama had been cancelled after just one series.
