The Strain will be returning for a third year, FX has confirmed.

The series, based on the book trilogy co-written by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, follows a vampiric outbreak in New York. The second season began last month in the US and comes to Watch in the UK on August 26.

Del Toro and Carlton Cuse will continue as showrunners. “Guillermo and Carlton have delivered two thrilling seasons of The Strain that are captivating and visually arresting, doing justice to the original novel trilogy and meeting fans’ high expectations in the process,” FX President Eric Schrier noted. “We’re excited to see them carry this powerful story into a third season on FX.”
