The Strain: Season Three Renewal for FX TV Series

by Trevor Kimball, August 7, 2015

The Strain TV show on FX: season 3Though the ratings for season two of The Strain are down by more than 30% when compared to last year, it’s still one of FX’s highest-rated shows. So, it’s no surprise that the cable channel has renewed it for a third season for next summer.

Here’s the announcement:

“THE STRAIN” IS SPREADING TO SEASON THREE

Acclaimed Thriller From Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse Will Return Next Summer For Season Three

LOS ANGELES, August 7, 2015 – The Strain will return for a third season next summer, taking fans even deeper into the thriller from Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse, based off of the best-selling The Strain Trilogy by del Toro and Chuck Hogan, it was announced today by Eric Schrier and Nick Grad, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions. The second season of The Strain is currently airing on FX Sundays at 10 PM e/p.

“Guillermo and Carlton have delivered two thrilling seasons of The Strain that are captivating and visually arresting, doing justice to the original novel trilogy and meeting fans’ high expectations in the process,” said Schrier. “We’re excited to see them carry this powerful story into a third season on FX.”

In the current second season, the transformation has begun. It can no longer be denied – New York City is rapidly falling to an evil epidemic, and no one is coming to its rescue. Its citizens must fight or die. Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and his unlikely allies tried to take down the embodiment of this evil – the Master – and failed. Now Eph and Dr. Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro) concentrate on creating a biological weapon to wipe out the creatures, while Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley) searches for an ancient book he hopes will reveal the strigoi’s entire history…and possibly a way to kill them. Meanwhile, the Master is out for revenge, unleashing new and even more terrifying breeds of bloodthirsty creatures after our team. Our team must find a way to defeat him before the infection spreads too far and becomes irreparable… before they become monsters themselves.

The Strain hails from Showrunner/Executive Producer/Writer Carlton Cuse along with Co-Creators/Executive Producers/Writers Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Gary Ungar, J. Miles Dale, Bradley Thompson, David Weddle and Regina Corrado serve as Executive Producers. The Strain is produced by FX Productions.

I kinda like the show, but there’s a lot happening that I do not remember from the books. It all seems so different from what I remember reading. I guess we’ll see where this goes.
