Guillermo Del Toro is bringing his horror show, The Strain, to FX sometime next year. The show is based off a book by Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. It’s a new take on the vampire genre, though the vampires you see in the book and comic look a lot like the ones from Blade 2; but that’s a Del Toro production, so it’s all good. Check out the teaser that aired during Walking Dead mid-season finale below!

Summary from the Book Sleeve:

JFK International Airport, New York City: Seated corpses faced in row after row. No evident trauma. No nosebleeds. No signs of poisoning. They were seated as any normal passengers would be, chairs in full and upright position, still waiting for the fasten seatbelt sign to be turned off at the airport gate…

What took the lives of an airplane full of people?

Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, Head of the Center for Disease Control’s New York team, is racing to find out, but little does Eph know that the nightmare is only just beginning.

Abraham Setrakian is an elderly Armenian professor who understands the darkness that is descending. Many years ago, in the hellish barracks of the Treblinka extermination camp, he faced a horror more terrifying than death itself.

Before the next sundown Eph, Setrakian, and a motley collection of heroes must undertake the ultimate fight for survival. Should they fail, New York will be lost. And the rest of the world will follow…
