Ever since The Strain was officially announced, we’ve been anxiously awaiting our first look at the series, adapted from the novel by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. The series casts Corey Stoll (House of Cards) as a CDC doctor who investigates a new virus whose victims exhibit symptoms remarkably similar to vampirism, and the pilot episode was directed by del Toro himself.
With less than two months until the series premieres on FX, the first trailer has finally arrive via del Toro Films, and we’ve got it for you below.
The Strain will premiere on Sunday, July 13, exclusively on FX.
A plane lands at John F. Kennedy International Airport with lights off and doors sealed. Epidemiologist Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Stoll) and his team are sent to investigate. On board they find two hundred corpses and four survivors. The situation deteriorates when the bodies begin disappearing from morgues. Goodweather and a small group of helpers find themselves battling to protect not only their own loved ones, but the entire city, from an ancient threat to humanity.
