The trailer for Netflix's The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself has been released, promising magic, romance and plenty of gore.

The series is based on Sally Green's Half Bad trilogy, and stars Titans' Jay Lycurgo as Nathan Byrne, aka the bastard son of the world's most feared witch, and Emilien Vekemans and Nadia Parkes as his companions Gabriel and Annalise.
The trailer teases the setting – a world where witches are real, and divided into fairborn witches (good) and blood witches (evil) – and the trio's journey to find Nathan's father, the world's most dangerous blood witch.
Netflix had teased it was a "truly f**ked up ride", and the trailer's opening scene certainly seems to confirm this, with a goopy flesh explosion covering Nathan and love interest and fellow witch Annalise in security guard.

It also details how Nathan will struggle with his identity as a witch, and his mission.
"I'm supposed to kill my father," he tells a shocked Gabriel in the trailer, before he wonders whether his own life is worth saving, especially since he might be irrevocably changed once he gets his powers.
