The summer season of genre shows is getting closer and closer and we’re getting more teases with what’s to come, which is pretty exciting. The latest one doing the brief and viral style teases is the FX summer series The Strain. We’ve had a couple of spots show up so far that don’t say much but certainly set a tone for things and the latest one is no exception. We also got a pair of new poster style pieces, one designed around the new logo, that adds a bit of the creepy factor to it. The series previously got its first season order and is projected to get between 39 and 65 episodes depending on how things go when all is said and done, making this a series worth checking out.
Plot concept: The Strain is a high concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers, wage war for the fate of humanity itself.
