Last year it was announced that FX had begun developing an adaptation of Guillermo del Toro’s The Strain, about our culture’s pained exertion to fit in one more vampire project. As of today, all that forcing through has paid off with a 13-episode order for the series, with del Toro serving as executive producer alongside Chuck Hogan, who co-wrote the trilogy of novels it’s based on, and Carlton Cuse, who just sort of magically appears whenever you say the words "supernatural drama."As previously reported, House Of Cards breakout Corey Stoll will enter a new world of parasites as Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, mankind’s only hope against a powerful new virus and the vampires it creates—vampires who are temporarily delayed by asking, “’Ephraim Goodweather?’ Seriously?” and thus giving him a fighting chance.
