We spoke with FirstKill stars Sarah Catherine Hook and Imani Lewis about the new series, vampire fangs, and first kisses.
[Editor’s note: The following contains some spoilers for First Kill.]From showrunner Felicia D. Henderson and creator V.E. Schwab, who also wrote the novel the series is inspired by, the Netflix original First Kill shows how complicated first love can get when a teenage vampire falls for a vampire hunter.
SARAH CATHERINE HOOK: It was everything. How could you not wanna do this show? Obviously, we were so drawn to our characters. But the show, as a whole, with the representation part of it, it checks off every box. LEWIS: Absolutely. It was very communicative, very honest, and very supportive. We both love what we do and we both adore our characters. I think we both had a different kind of excitement to bring them to life and to bounce our energies off of each other. It was just a very close knit process. It was awesome.
Imani, how did you develop and work on the physicality of your character? Calliope is a real badass, so how did you internalize that, to have that confidence show through? HOOK: They wrote all the episodes before we started filming, so we didn’t get to have that much input, as far as what our characters said. But as far as how we wanted to present them, I felt like we had a lot of agency over that. And if we ever had any concerns, we were both really close with Felicia D. Henderson, who’s our showrunner and executive producer and one of the writers. She wears many hats.
HOOK: Personally, it’s my favorite scene. It’s just so beautiful, and I feel so proud of it. We worked really hard on that. We went in there and we were professionals. We were like, “This is no laughing matter. We’re getting this right. This is for the queer community.” We are very, very, very proud of that sequence. It took a little bit of choreography, but I felt like there was a natural flow that we got. We had a great time with it.
