The vampire genre gets pumped with new blood this season as Syfy jumps into the post-apocalyptic game with their dystopian saga, VAN HELSING. Think THE WALKING DEAD with a world controlled by vampires, and you have a taste of what to expect from this action-packed new series with none other than Neil LaBute showrunning it.

“I had actually adapted DRACULA for the stage, and kind of coincidentally I had actually changed professor Van Helsing to a woman myself, and so I was intrigued enough to take the journey,” says LaBute, who was eager to work again with HELL ON WHEELS producers Chad Oakes and Michael Frislev on the 13-episode, hour-long drama. LaBute is well known for such hard-hitting and controversial character dramas as IN THE COMPANY OF MEN and YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS.

VAN HELSING reimagines Bram Stoker’s original vampire killer lineage with the title character, Vanessa Helsing, finding herself in a place to lead mankind against blood-sucking clans in a “post-Rising” landscape.
