Netflix has officially announced that they will add Brand New Cherry Flavor to their expansive list of original series. Along with this announcement, they revealed the main cast and characters as well as its plot. Here's everything we know so far about Brand New Cherry Flavor's release date, cast, and storyline.
The series is adapted from Todd Grimson's fantasy horror novel of the same name. Over the past several years, Netflix has become the home of numerous book to movie or series adaptations. For instance, Mike Flanagan's works on the streaming service have made enormous strides. To date, Flanagan has adapted Gerald's Game by Stephen King, The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, and, in 2020, The Haunting Of Bly Manor, which was based on the short story The Turn Of The Screw by Henry James. It's no surprise that Netflix has opted for another series adaptation of a novel, especially considering the recent loss of Slasher to Shudder that may have left a gap in their lineup.
Todd Grimson's Brand New Cherry Flavor released in 1996 and features biker gangs as well as demons, celebrities, and an abundance of satire. It is guaranteed to be an enthralling series, as its cast and crew are composed of some of the industry's most versatile individuals. Without further ado, here's everything we know about Brand New Cherry Flavor.
Brand New Cherry Flavor Release Date
As of this writing, the release date for Brand New Cherry Flavor is unknown. However, it's likely that it will premiere in the winter of 2021 or spring of 2022. This is due to the fact that it secretly entered production several months ago prior to the onset of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on this fact, it is likely that they are either in the middle of the filming stage of production or at the very end of it. Netflix traditionally has an approximately 12 month turnaround time from series announcement to release date. For instance, The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina was announced in September of 2017 and premiered in October 2018. Occasionally, it takes a year and a half, which was the case for Black Mirror season 4. It's likely that Brand New Cherry Flavor will fall closer to 12 months or even sooner, depending on what stage of production they're in.
Brand New Cherry Flavor Cast & Characters
Rosa Salazar of Alita: Battle Angel and Bird Box is set to lead as Lisa Nova, a filmmaker living in Los Angeles in the year 1990. Alongside Salazar are Catherine Keener of Get Out fame, Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Eric Lange (Escape at Dannemora), and Jeff Ward (Marvel’s Agents of Shield). The cast members of Brand New Cherry Flavor have impeccable range, with unique acting talents that they will surely bring to their specific characters. Shudder's Channel Zero team of Nick Antosca and Lenore Zion are the ones who are bringing the book to life through their screenplay while Channel Zero: Butcher's Block's Arkasha Stevenson is set to film the pilot episode.
