Shaw Media’s Global News is reporting that FX will soon renew The Strain for a second season. The outlet reports that production on season two will kick off in Toronto in mid-November.
On The Strain, a team of disease control experts are called in to investigate when a plane lands in New York with 200 corpses on board. They soon discover that a viral outbreak has begun that could overtake humanity. The large cast includes Corey Stoll, David Bradley, Kevin Durand, Mía Maestro, Jonathan Hyde, Richard Sammel, Miguel Gomez, Natalie Brown, Jack Kesy, Sean Astin, and Robert Maillet.
Airing on Sunday nights, The Strain is one of FX’s top-rated scripted series and is only outperformed by the cable channel’s Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story.
The four episodes that have aired so far have averaged 2.42 million viewers with a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The most recent episode saw a 20% increase in the demo week-to-week.
What do you think? Do you like The Strain TV show? Do you think the series should have been renewed or should it be cancelled instead?
I read the books and the tv show is pretty damn close to being as good as the books were. I will defiantly be watching all the seasons even if I do know what happens in the end. It kinda makes me think of something happening like this in the real world maybe not so much a parasitic infection but I don’t want to spoil anything just keep watching with your eyes open
RENEW THIS AWESOME SERIES I FOUGHT FOR FRINGE I WILL FIGHT FOR “THE STRAIN” I LOVE & WHY SO FRIGGIN LONG TO BRING IT BACK OMG !
At first I wasn’t so sure about the show but around episode 4, I got hooked. It started really getting good and Im glad I stuck with it. I look forward to seeing it every Sunday. Im sad that season 1 is coming to an end. But at least I have season 2 to watch now. Congrats on season 2 and I hope there will be many seasons to come for them.
I really like this show and think it is doing an excellent job in character development and getting the story developed as well. I find it creepy and suspenseful like the Walking Dead. Grateful for a season two. I see another excellent show unfolding before my eyes and gaining momentum for its following.
Great idea but poorly executed. Exciting story that somehow is translated into a very slow cerebral drama. Love the concept , but sadly my weekly watching is only motivated by the hope that things will really start moving. A total eclipse of the sun this week . A real vampire holiday! We spent it watching our hero in a cel for most of the episode while other characters worked through more family drama and mishegous . Oy what a waste. I’d like to see a season 2 but only if they can fix the Writing and pacing.
My husband and I are huge fans of The Strain. The show has the right balancd of horror, suspense and the characters’ personal drama. Bravo for the renewal of season 2!
I like that there is a show that isn’t sexualized to the point that it consumes all the plot line or offends masses of people…. I like that it keeps me watching, wondering and on the edge of my seat. I don’t like the use of children in such movies so much but I understand the need for reality of the story. In any event I would be deflated to see it not get at least a second season to delve deeper into the story.
One of my favorite new shows. I think it’s cool there’s a different type of vampire movie/show from the usual romance ones like Twilight etc. Where the vampires look sexy, normal, loving etc. I find it refreshing seeing scary, creepy, and gruesome vampires for a change. Really looking to see how the rest of the season plays out
When I watched the Premier of this show, I wasn’t planning on watching anymore because I am sick of Vampire and Zombie themes. Over the weekend I decided to try it again and got caught up from Episode 2 and on and now I am hooked.
Have not read the books but the show makes me want to. Im glad the vamps are vicious creatures,the way they are meant to be.
That’s very good news. Having read the books I feel the show is taking a slower pace, but still, I am enjoying the show. Makes me want to pick up the books and refresh my memory.
