Radio Silence’s Vampire Pic ‘Abigail’ Sets Peacock Premiere Date

Peacock announced on Monday morning that the vampire horror comedy Abigail from Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream VI) will begin streaming exclusively on the platform beginning July 19.

Notching a worldwide gross of over $42 million upon its release in theaters in April, Abigail watches as a heist team is hired by a mysterious fixer to kidnap the daughter of a powerful underworld figure. They must guard the 12-year-old ballerina for one night to net a $50 million ransom. But as the captors start to dwindle one by one, they discover to their mounting terror that they’re locked inside an isolated mansion with no ordinary little girl.

Written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, the film putting a twist on Universal’s monster movie lineage stars Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, Alisha Weir and Giancarlo Esposito.

William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, Tripp Vinson and Chad Villella produced the film, with Ron Lynch serving as executive producer.
