Fox may havedropped the ballon bringingGuillermo del Toro‘sThe Strainto liveliness as a television serial , but plans are underway to fetch the gonzo vampire narrative to the small screenland , with a showrunner intimately conversant with bloodsuckers .
The Strain began life sentence as a television sales pitch , but when Guillermo del Toro deliver his idea for a realistic story of vampire pandemic , complete with long , complex fiber arcs and anal parasites , Fox execs want a show that was more Buffy than an undead version of The Wire . When they ask him to turn his idea into a funniness , del Toro team up up with authorChuck Hoganto rework The Strain as a trilogy of novels .
But now , a The Strain television serial is back on the table . Variety reports that Grady Twins Productions , a product company started byMarti Noxonand Dawn Parouse Olmstead , is work with del Toro and Hogan to develop a three season series , which they plan to tell on early next yr .
It ’s perhaps ironic , given that Noxon was a author and executive manufacturer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer , which was the sort of vampire dramedy Fox in all likelihood had in mind , not to mention a show we ourselves have impeach ofdefanging the vampire writing style . But Noxon , whose writing and yield credits include the slow - burning Mad Men , is certainly no alien to smart writing and bit by bit developing fiber arcs , and can hopefully deliver the over - the - top passion and horror del Toro ’s body of work demand .
