CAST RIN AS:

Picture
IRINA – SUPPORTING, 30's. Russian-American. Stoic, willing to do anything to protect her critically-ill child — even if that includes deceiving law enforcement in an elaborate homicide cover-up. 

TULA – SUPPORTING, mid 20’s- early 30’s. Tall, and radiating strength, Tula is the only reason her friend LEECE is still alive. Nomadic by necessity in this post apocalyptic landscape, she’s willing to use her strength when needed, but is still as vulnerable as can be when it comes to those she cares about. She marks her kills with piercings. Dirt doesn’t bother her; who needs a shower when you’re alive?
​
BRIDGET – SUPPORTING, 25-30. Bridget may only be a few years younger than her sister JADE, but she’s the
princess of her family, and she’ll let you know it. Though she’s well meaning enough, she has a certain idea of The Way Things Should Be, and oblivious as to why her manipulation of other’s lives might ruffle feathers.


DENISE – LEAD, late 20’s, early 30’s. The head of a coven of witches. 120 years, old but she looks like she's 30. Tall, bossy and aggressive and always gets what she wants

DELILAH – SUPPORTING, 25-35. An experienced singer-songwriter. She’s been on the scene long enough to have developed a loyal if somewhat ragtag following, but running from her demons has left her withered, disillusioned and with a questionable set of morals. Invite her to the after party at your own risk.

CHLOE – LEAD, late 20’s. A singer-songwriter originally from Cincinnati, she moved to NYC years ago and still is just barely scraping by on her serving job while playing dingy bar gigs. She’s a little lost, and doubt creeps in more often than she’d like. Artsy, bohemian.

LILY – SUPPORTING, mid 20’s. Sweetly ethereal, Lily is still very much one of the undead. She’s somewhere in between a ghost and zombie, and you could be fooled by her seemingly placid nature...until you cross the line of ethics by which Lily abides. Then, she becomes a very solid undead presence.
