Netflix is adapting Todd Grimson’s horror novel “Brand New Cherry Flavor” in the form of a horror-thriller revenge series, with Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel) set to lead the cast.
The series will also star Catherine Keener (Get Out), Eric Lange (Escape at Dannemora), Jeff Ward (“Agents of Shield”) and Manny Jacinto (“The Good Place”), and Deadline reports today that Hannah Levien (The Magicians, Siren), Leland Orser (I Am The Night, Berlin Station) and Patrick Fischler (The Right Stuff, Defending Jacob) have also signed on to star.
“Brand New Cherry Flavor is the story of Lisa Nova (Salazar), an aspiring film director in the sun-drenched but seamy world of 1990 Los Angeles who embarks on a mind-altering journey — from the streets of Beverly Hills to the forests of Brazil — of supernatural revenge.”
The eight episode series was penned by “Channel Zero” duo Nick Antosca and Lenore Zion. “Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block” director Arkasha Stevenson will direct the pilot.
