June 3 (UPI) -- Renfield, a contemporary Dracula spinoff movie starring Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult, will get its streaming premiere on Peacock June 9.

Chris McKay -- whose credits include The Tomorrow War and The LEGO Batman Movie -- directed the horror-comedy, which opened in theaters in April.

It is about what happens when a vampire's loyal servant discovers he wants more out of life.

"Renfield is forced to procure his master's prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased," said a synopsis from Universal Pictures.

"But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there's a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency."

Awkwafina and Shohreh Aghdashloo co-star.
