Vampire TV series, films, and novels always seem to capture the public’s imagination. To that end, FOX has introduced The Passage TV show. Will it be able to sink its fangs into the television audience and draw more Nielsen ratings than blood? Will The Passage be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A FOX drama, The Passage stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Saniyya Sidney, Vincent Piazza, Brianne Howey, Caroline Chikezie, Jamie McShane, Emmanuelle Chriqui, McKinley Belcher III, and Henry Ian Cusick. Based on the Justin Cronin book trilogy, the story centers on Project NOAH, where scientists are working on a virus that may either cure humanity of all disease, or wipe it out entirely. When Federal Agent Brad Wolgast (Gosselaar) is assigned to bring in Amy Bellafonte (Sidney) as a new test subject, he develops fatherly feelings for the child. Meanwhile, the new race of creatures locked up in Project NOAH are testing out their powers and working toward an escape.

*5/10/19 update: FOX has cancelled The Passage TV show.
I loved the books and hope this succeeds, but the first season is moving a tad too slow. This part of the trilogy is roughly 10% of the whole story and I think they could have told this extended prologue in 3-5 episodes, and delving into the bigger story at the end of this season. Not showing us what the bulk of the trilogy is about in Season 1 is a mistake. This part of the story is just a set-up, important though it may be, and there is so much more to this. My hope is that they spend… Read more »
