It’s been over a decade since Let The Right One In and its largely identical American remake with a slightly different title, but the timeless tale of a little boy befriending the spooky girl next door who happens to be—spoiler alert—a vampire has stuck with American TV and film studios like a tooth in the neck. TNT tried to make a TV version of Let The Right One In years ago, with Teen Wolf’s Jeff Davis running things, but it didn’t make it past the pilot stage. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Showtime has also ordered a pilot for a Let The Right One In TV show of its own, this time with Penny Dreadful’s Andrew Hinderaker writing and Homeland’s Seith Mann directing.
