Netflix has announced an October premiere for The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, an edgy, YA drama, grounded in the modern day where witches live amongst us. The series, based on the Half Bad books by Sally Green, will launch on October 28.
A darkly humorous, romantic, roller-coaster ride of a young adult show. It’s a story about the indomitable will to survive and defy the odds. The series is based on the Half Bad trilogy of books written by Sally Green. Sixteen-year-old Nathan (Jay Lycurgo) is the illegitimate son of the world’s most dangerous witch. Fearing he will follow in his father’s footsteps, Nathan is constantly monitored. But as the boundaries between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fray, Nathan – along with mischievous Annalise and charismatic Gabriel – will soon discover who he truly is.
Expect magic, sarcasm, banter, potions in zip-lock bags, hunters, romance, loyalty and unbreakable friendship…it’s a truly f*cked up ride. The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself is written by Joe Barton (The Lazarus Project, Giri/Haji) and boasts an entirely new score created by British pop group Let’s Eat Grandma.
Starring alongside Jay Lycurgo (Titans) are Nadia Parkes, Emilie Vekemans, Isobel Jesper Jones, Paul Ready, David Gyasi, Karen Connell, Kerry Fox, Feint Balogun, Misha Butler, Liz White and Róisín Murphy.
