The Society), Oliver Masucci (
Shameless), and C.S. Lee (
Dexter) had previously been announced as part of the cast as well.
Besides Foxx’s role, there’s no news yet on what parts the other actors will play. Given it’s a comedy about vampires, however, we’d bet a pint of O-positive that at least some of those announced play a creature of the night.
The series will also be the directing debut for J.J. Perry, who was previously second-unit director and stunt coordinator for
The Fate and the Furious,
Bloodshot, and
John Wick. The original script, written by Tyler Tice, was discovered during a script competition and has since been revised by Shay Hatten.
According to Deadline, Grammy-nominated rapper Snoop Dogg (
Dolemite Is My Name), Meagan Good (
Shazam!), Karla Souza (
How to Get Away with Murder), and Scott Adkins (
Debt Collectors) has been cast to join Oscar winner Jamie Fox in Netflix’s upcoming vampire thriller film
Dayshift. In addition, Eric Lange and Zion Broadnax have also joined J.J. Perry’s feature directorial debut film. Further details about their characters are still being kept under wraps, but the film will center around a vampire hunter who is moonlighting as a pool cleaner during the day.
Day Shift centers around the story of a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted 8-year old daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international union of vampire hunters.
