Quentin Tarantino’s iconic Kill Bill franchise will be heading to a brand-new streaming home for the month of April. Both Volume 1 and 2 were led by Academy Award nominee Uma Thurman as Beatrix “The Bride” Kiddo, who’s hellbent on seeking revenge against the members of the assassination squad she was once a part of.

Beginning on April 1 The franchise centers around The Bride, a vengeful former assassin whose chance to have a complete family gets taken away after her former squad, The Deadly Vipers, suddenly attacked her and her groom during their wedding rehearsal. After waking up from a four-year coma, she embarks on a revenge-fueled quest to hunt down the ones responsible for the wedding massacre and the loss of her unborn child. Prior to working on the Kill Bill films, Thurman first collaborated with Tarantino on 1994’s acclaimed crime movie Pulp Fiction, which won multiple awards, including the Cannes Film Festival’s highly-coveted Palme d'Or.

Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2 were written and directed by Tarantino. Both movies were released in 2003 with six months apart between their theatrical release dates. The Oscar-winning filmmaker also shot the movies in a single production. The ensemble cast also included Daryl Hannah as Elle Driver, David Carradine as Bill, Lucy Liu as O-Ren Ishii, Vivica A. Fox as Vernita Green, Samuel L. Jackson as Rufus, Sonny Chiba as Hattori Hanzo, Michael Madsen as Budd, Michael Parks as Earl McGraw, Gordon Liu as Johnny Mo, and more. Volume 1 and 2 both garnered positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, with the first installment receiving a slightly higher Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

For a long time now, many fans have been hoping for a third installment of Kill Bill. However, it seems like this project might be impossible now, since Tarantino has been honest about the future of the franchise. In a previous interview, he admitted that he doesn’t really see Kill Bill 3 happening, because he has no interest in continuing the story. Before Tarantino dashed fans’ hopes for a threequel, some fans would have liked to see the story continue with another revenge plot involving The Bride and Vernita’s daughters. Fox even suggested that Zendaya would be a great choice to play her grown-up daughter, while some fans believed that Stranger Things star Maya Hawke would be perfect to play The Bride’s daughter B.B.

At the moment, Tarantino is still in the pre-production process for his ninth and final directorial movie. Further details about the untitled project are still under wraps. Before this, he would have directed Brad Pitt in a movie called The Movie Critic. However, he eventually decided to scrap the 1970s-set project before its initial 2024 production start date. In a previous interview, Tarantino admitted that he’s actually not in a rush to shoot his last directorial movie, because his kids aren’t really old enough to remember what it would be like on a film set. “The idea of jumping on a voyage when they’re too young to understand it is not enticing to me,” he explained. “I kind of want to not do whatever movie I end up doing until my son is at least 6. That way he’ll know what’s going on, he’ll be there, and it will be a memory for the rest of his life... [My daughter] is already such a genius, she’ll just get it.”
