Warning! SPOILERS for First Kill season 1.
Netflix's guide to the vampire series cast and characters. Based on a short story by series creator V.E. Schwab, First Kill tells the story of two teenage girls who fall in love. One happens to be a vampire, while the other is a monster hunter.
First Kill is set in a world where humans are aware that monsters exist, wherein Juliette’s vampire family have lived covertly for years. However, at the start of First Kill season 1, episode 1, it's time for Juliette to make her first kill, causing her to risk revealing her true identity.
The story of two families locked in a generations-old battle has a large cast. Although First Kill is focused on teens in the vampire drama tradition of Twilight, adults also figure into the plot. Here's a roundup of the main characters and the actors who portray them.
Sarah Catherine Hook as Juliette Fairmont
In First Kill, teen vampire Juliette Fairmont is played by Sarah Catherine Hook. Juliette wants to kiss her crush Calliope, not kill her, but her family has other plans.
