‘The Radleys’: Damian Lewis to Play Two Vampires in ‘Heartstopper’ Director’s New Series

Damian Lewis, known for the “Homeland” and “Band of Brothers” series, will play two vampire twins in the comedy “The Radleys”, based on the original work by Matt Haig.

The film will be directed by filmmaker Euros Lyn (“Doctor Who”), who also worked with Lewis on Dream Horse, and today the director is behind the Netflix series “Heartstopper.”

In the plot of “The Radleys”, we see a seemingly ordinary family with a dark secret that even their neighbors don’t know about: they are vampires. Only parents Helen and Peter (Lewis) know the true nature of the family.

They are “tough drinkers”, vampires who choose not to drink blood despite their natural desires. Her teenage boys, vegan Clara and passionate Rowan, have no idea until one night Clara is attacked by a boy in her class and her bloodthirsty instincts take over, forcing her parents to finally come clean. .

Rowan then wonders about his own identity. The temptation to try his first taste of blood only grows stronger with the arrival of Uncle Will (Lewis), Peter’s twin brother and a practicing vampire, who opens the curtain on his vampiric life of hedonism and of freedom. Will is all cocky and has strong sex appeal, and his presence knocks the entire family off its axis, triggering pent up desires for parents and teens.
