Lost showrunner Carlton Cuse will be running the TV version of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s vampire trilogy The Strain for FX.
The books were originally intended as a TV pitch, and del Toro envisages the series as a close-ended run, with between three and five seasons used to tell the tale (elements of the third book lend themselves to expansion, according to the writer.) Del Toro and Hogan will write the script later this year, with a view to shooting the pilot in September 2013.
The Strain, and its sequels The Fall and The Night Eternal, follow humanity’s struggle against vampiric humans who serve a Master, centred around a team led by the CDC’s Eph Goodweather.
