The Kitchen cast: All actors & characters

The Kitchen comes to Netflix on January 19 – here’s everything you need to know about its cast, including all actors and characters.

In a directorial debut by Daniel Kaluuya, The Kitchen follows a dystopian future in London where all social housing has been eliminated. Main characters Izi and Benji fight to navigate the world as residents of The Kitchen, a community that refuses to abandon their home.

In our review of the movie, we wrote: “With solid performances, realistic and heart-warming connections, and a stark reminder that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, the nearly-there outcome just stops itself from hitting on something huge.”

With the movie set to drop on Netflix later this week, here’s everything you need to know about the cast behind The Kitchen.
