Renfield Gets Peacock Release Date

Renfield was released in theaters in April and became available for home viewing in May, and now the movie is finally coming to Peacock. The horror/comedy was helmed by Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War, The LEGO Batman Movie) and stars Nicholas Hoult as the titular character, the henchman of Dracula, who is played by Nicolas Cage. The movie will be streaming exclusively on Peacock starting June 9th, which is three days after the “Dracula Sucks Edition” will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD. 

You can read a description of Renfield here: “Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss: Dracula (Nicolas Cage). For centuries, Renfield has slavishly served Dracula by procuring his master’s prey and doing his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, Renfield is ready to look for a new life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness, if only he can figure out how to end the toxic, co-dependent relationship…”

In addition to Cage and Hoult, Renfield also stars Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘s Awkwafina as well as Sonic the Hedgehog‘s Ben Schwartz. Other cast members include Adrian Martinez, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Bess Rous, and James Moses Black
