Dan (played by John Lynch) is a protagonist in Isolation.
Owner of a failing Irish farm hired by a biotech firm for an experimental cattle project. After being bitten and infected, he ultimately sacrifices himself to save Mary and destroy the creature. Orla (played by Essie Davis) is a protagonist in Isolation.
A local veterinarian contracted by the biotech firm to monitor the experimental cattle. Her necropsy reveals the creature's parasitic lifecycle and human susceptibility, but she is killed by the infected mother cow. Jamie (played by Sean Harris) appears in Isolation.
A Romani Traveller and Mary's boyfriend who assists Dan in delivering the experimental calf. After being bitten in the flooded barn, he realizes he is infected and attempts to flee but is executed by John. John (played by Marcel Iureș) appears in Isolation.
A cold, pragmatic genetic scientist from the biotech firm overseeing the experiment. His initial dismissal of safety protocols and subsequent paranoia drive him to slaughter most of the livestock and execute infected individuals before being killed by the creature. Mary (played by Ruth Negga) appears in Isolation.
Jamie's girlfriend and a fugitive from her disapproving family. She survives the farm outbreak, collaborates with Dan to kill the creature, and escapes pregnant. The epilogue suggests the parasite survives in her fetus. Doctor (played by Crispin Letts) appears in Isolation.
A physician in Birmingham who examines the pregnant Mary in the epilogue. His ultrasound reveals a creature-like shape inside the fetus, confirming the parasite's survival and setting up a sequel hook.
