Why Did Hub Killed Cheryl in The Bondsman?

Prime Video’s The Bondsman has captivated audiences with its eerie supernatural elements and intricately developed characters. One particularly shocking moment that has sparked intense discussion is Hub’s unexpected decision to kill Cheryl. As the story unfolds, viewers are left questioning his intentions and what this act means for his character’s arc moving forward.

Here’s a breakdown of Hub’s fateful choice — and how it ties into the show’s broader themes.

Here’s why Hub killed Cheryl in The Bondsman

The killing event all starts with Hub Hallaron, played by Kevin Bacon, who is driven by a desire for revenge against his ex-wife’s boyfriend, Lucky Callahan. Hub’s main goal is to confront the man who had previously killed him and left him with a cut throat. (via The Direct)

However, this quest for vengeance leads to a tragic misunderstanding. Enter Cheryl, who becomes an unwitting victim in Hub’s rage-fueled quest. In a moment of confusion, Hub mistakenly shoots Cheryl, believing she is Lucky. The narrative of the show takes a supernatural turn as it reveals that Cheryl is the demon queen, Lilith. Lilith has taken on Cheryl’s physical form, using her as a vessel for her malevolent spirit.

In the season finale, this incident came to light, with lead actor Kevin Bacon discussing his character’s motivations regarding Cheryl’s death in an interview with The Wrap. “Hub’s a selfish or self-involved kind of guy. Admitting killing Cheryl to his family is a big moment, but he’s still holding onto the idea that he’s not the bad guy here.”

Cheryl’s death marks a critical moment in Season 1 of The Bondsman. It paves the way for Lilith’s emergence on Earth. This will pose a grave threat to humanity. Hub’s mistake of killing Cheryl, mistakenly believing she was someone else due to her hat resembling Lucky’s, will result in a significant warning in the future.
