Damian Lewis Vampire Comedy 'The Radleys' Boasts an All-Star Ensemble
Damian Lewis is the sort of actor one tends to associate with prestige drama --- he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his starring role in the spy thriller Homeland, but his career has spanned series ranging from period dramas (Wolf Hall) to adaptations of literary classics (A Spy Among Friends). With a little Succession-lite thrown on top for good measure (Billions).
He's definitely not the first actor whose name that comes to mind when you hear the phrase "supernatural black comedy." But that's about to change thanks to his new (dual) role in The Radleys, a contemporary vampire film that aims to explore what happens when we ignore our deepest, darkest desires or try to suppress our true selves.
Based on the popular novel by Matt Haig, the story follows the titular Radleys, a seemingly ordinary family in a quiet, suburban English town. But, under the surface, parents Peter and Helen are keeping a dark secret. They're abstaining vampires.
