‘Buffy’ Meets ‘Fleabag’ in Vampire Rom-Com ‘She Kills Them’ Starring Kate Mara

Kate Mara (“House of Cards,” “American Horror Story”) will star in the vampire romantic comedy She Kills Them, Variety has learned.

She’ll play Chloe Jacobs, a woman in her late 30s living a dangerous double life. By night, she seduces and slays vampires as part of a secret government operation. By day, she’s just another jaded New Yorker trying to figure out her personal life. But when she meets Eric — someone she actually connects with — her two worlds collide.

Dan Clark (“How Not to Live Your Life”) will write and direct with Matthew E. Chausse (Beyond Skyline, Fast Charlie) producing.

“Imagine if ‘Buffy’ grew up to become ‘Fleabag,’” said Clark. “While there’s action and vampires, this is ultimately a grounded, character-driven romantic comedy — think Silver Linings Playbook with the occasional kick-ass fight sequence.”

London-based Tea Shop Films (Fall, 47 Meters Down) and Paris-based The Project are behind the film.

They said in a joint statement, “We love seeing a romantic comedy with a twist — something that speaks to rom-com fans, genre lovers and young adult audiences all at once. This project is fresh, clever, and genuinely entertaining, with a heroine you can’t help but root for.”
