GINGER SNAPS: Katharine Isabelle On Planned TV Revival And Whether She’d Return To The Franchise
Talking to us about her role in Night of the Animated Dead, the original Scream Queen, Katharine Isabelle, weighs in on the planned Ginger Snaps TV series and whether she’d like to be involved in some way.
Ginger Snaps is a legit cult classic; released in 2000, the Canadian horror movie starred Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle as two teenage sisters who have a fascination with death (however, things take a very unexpected turn when they’re both bitten by werewolves). It was followed by Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, and remains beloved to this day.
Last year, we learned that John Fawcett, the co-creator and director of the original film, is looking to resurrect the franchise as a TV series. He also co-created Orphan Black, and with Anna Ssemuyaba (Guerilla) on writing duties, we have a lot of reasons to be excited about this one as it takes shape.
Talking to Isabelle about her role in Night of the Animated Dead, we asked for her thoughts on the show and whether she would like to be involved in some capacity.
“I’m very, very happy and very supportive of giving Ginger another reincarnation,” the actress told us earlier this week. “I think that was always in the back of their heads since day one that there would be some kind of series at some point, maybe. The fact that John Fawcett has got together with the producers of Killing Eve…I just can’t even imagine how freaking cool that would be.”
“Of course, I would do anything that they requested of me if they should request anything of me at all,” Isabelle said of a possible return. “I definitely think that character and that story is still very relevant these days, and the sort of themes that went along with the feminist and the sisterhood and the fight against your own body and your own base instincts is all very relevant. I think they’ll do an amazing job and I’m just as excited as anybody else to see it! [Laughs]”
We’d be surprised if Isabelle doesn’t get a cameo role of some sort, though it’s currently unclear whether this show is a full-blown reboot/reimagining or a continuation of the original movies. It is, of course, possible the new Ginger Snaps will be a bit of both, but it’s seemingly still in the early stages.

HANNIBAL Star Katharine Isabelle Reveals Plans For Margot Verger If The Series Ever Returns
Hannibal ended on a major cliffhanger, and talk has persisted of a revival ever since. Now, Margot Verger actress Katharine Isabelle reveals what creator Bryan Fuller has planned for her character…
We recently caught up with Katharine Isabelle to discuss her role as Barbara in Night of the Animated Dead, an animated retelling of George A. Romero’s 1968 horror classic Night of the Living Dead. It’s set to be released digitally on September 21, and on Blu-Ray Combo Pack & DVD on October 5.
One of the many places you’ll likely recognise Isabelle from is Hannibal. The series ran from 2013 – 2015 and ended before its time. Since then, talks of a revival have never gone away, so we had to ask the actress if she might be back as Margot Verger. After murdering her brother, Mason, she went on the run under threat of death from Dr. Lecter, but there’s definitely room for her story to continue.
“I have been told so by our incredible creator Bryan Fuller,” Isabelle responded when asked about the possibilty of returing to the role. “I do know that he has ideas for Margot’s continuing life in the future. There was some talk of her turning their slaughterhouse empire into, like, a vegan something or other to change the world in a positive way. I would hope so, of course, and I absolutely love that show.”
“I still haven’t seen the final two episodes because, to me, and I do this with books and TV shows I love, if I don’t finish it, it’s not over [Laughs]. So, I actually haven’t seen the last two episodes of Hannibal because I’m just like, ‘No, it’s fine. I still have that to go back to. It’s not over for me.’”
Things have been quiet on the Hannibal front for a while now, but Mads Mikkelsen said earlier this year that talks have been “revitalised” since the entire series was added to Netflix. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens, but we’re certainly intrigued to see what could become of that slaughterhouse!

Night of the Animated Dead, an animated adaptation of George A. Romero’s classic zombie flick Night of the Living Dead has found its release date — just in time for Halloween.
Night of the Animated Dead is written by John A. Russo and directed by Jason Axinn, who previously brought to life his own animated horror, To Your Last Death in 2019. George A. Romero’s low-budget independent horror film, Night of the Living Dead, became a cult classic after its 1968 release. It was set in a quaint rural farmhouse in the western reaches of Pennsylvania, utilizing a core group of seven strangers who were trapped within the house as a legion of cannibalistic ghouls tried to get inside. The film became an inspiration for untold numbers of zombie enthusiasts, influenced by the unique — yet never called “zombie” creatures.
In Night of the Animated Dead, Barbara and Johnny visit their father’s grave which is located at a remote Pennsylvanian cemetery when they suddenly find themselves swarmed by zombies. Barbara flees to a farmhouse and finds herself trapped there with a group of strangers as the zombies overcome the property.
The animated feature includes the talented all-star vocal work of Dulé Hill as Ben, with Katee Sackhoff as Judy, Josh Duhamel and Nancy Travis as Harry and Helen Cooper, Katharine Isabelle as Barbara, James Roday Rodriguez as Tom, Jimmi Simpson as Johnny, and Will Sasso as Sheriff McClelland.
Zombie fans will be excited to learn that the Blu-ray and DVD release of Night of the Animated Dead includes the special feature “Making of the Animated Dead.” Join director Jason Axinn & Producer Michael Luisi as they regale fans with the careful process of honoring the iconic classic with their vision for an animated remake, including scene breakdowns and booth recordings with the cast!
Night of the Animated Dead is headed towards a September 21, 2021 Digital release, with a Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD release on October 5, 2021. Check out the box art below.
