From Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, FX’s first season of “The Strain” is set to conclude next Sunday night. We have your first look at the season finale, in which Eph and Fet recon for an all-out assault that Setrakian assures them will finally kill the Master. Gus aligns himself with a strange new force, one that may swing the fight in an unforeseen direction.
I’ve enjoyed this inaugural season for the most part, although I way prefer the World War II arc as opposed to Corey Stoll running around New York with that silly wig. It’s also a bit Blade 2-sih, which I always found a bit odd. Anyways, the season finale looks to finally bring everything together, which always piques my interest in what’s to follow. Where do the writers take Season 2?
“ ‘The Strain’ is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers wage war for the fate of humanity itself.”
“The Strain” stars Corey Stoll, Mia Maestro, Sean Astin, Roger Cross, Leslie Hope, Regina King, Robert Maillet, Lauren Lee Smith, Miguel Gomez, Kevin Durand, David Bradley, and Richard Sammel.
