'The Strain' Season 2 News, Premiere Date: Executive Producer Talks About Deviating From the Books
The highly anticipated return date of FX's hit TV drama series "The Strain" for its second season has finally been revealed. Meanwhile, the show's executive producer talked about deviating from the books.
A report from Collider shared the details of their recent interview with show runner Carton Cuse who dished out some news regarding Season 2.
"We have finished shooting Season two and I'm just in the middle of editing the episodes right now. I'm very excited about it," the executive producer told Collider.
As for what the fans should expect when the vampire horror drama show returns to the small screen, this is what Cuse had to say:
"I think that season two is a real evolution. Season one, in a lot of ways, was about people reacting to this epidemiological crisis and coming to realize that there were these vampiric creatures, that they existed, and having to accept the reality of them. Now everybody does accept the reality of them and the question is what can we do about it? Can we fight back? Do we have a chance? What kind of strategies to we employ to basically take these things out?"
The "evolution" which the showrunner has mentioned, was owed greatly to the diversion they make for the TV adaptation.
"There's a lot of diversion from the books and a lot of addition to the books. We're following the same general narrative, but I would say season two is maybe 80% invented. It has some of the same landmarks, but you can watch the show having read the books and you'll get a totally new experience," Cuse explained.
"The Strain" Season 2 is expected to air its premiere episode this Sunday, July 12 at 10 p.m. on FX.
