Valny 2,968 June 6, 2014 Finally, I've been waiting for a real trailer for a while now! Actually just saw it on tv today. It was frustrating seeing those super vague trailers they first put out,even though I knew what the story was about. Now I can finally show these trailers to friends at work to try to hook them in to watch. Share this post Link to post

kieyra 10,510 July 22, 2014 ‘The Strain’ to Lose Its Most Monstrous Creation of All: Corey Stoll’s Wig I'll admit I giggled, even though I'm not one of the people who really noticed the wig. Share this post Link to post
SimoneS 34,510 July 23, 2014 LOL! I think that they are only getting rid of the horrendous wig because fans all over the Internet have been hypercritical. I am at the point of not caring what justification they use as long as that thing goes and sexy bald Corey Stoll returns. Seriously, wth were they thinking having Corey wear that thing?

Josette 1,281 August 12, 2014 The show was renewed for a second season. Warning for the squeamish: the infamous eye ad is at this link. Edited August 12, 2014 by Josette Share this post Link to post
Omar G. 390 August 12, 2014 Only one news outlet is reporting this and they're basing it on filming in Toronto (which could just be they're securing production locations/crew IN CASE it gets renewed). No reason to believe it won't come back given the strong ratings, but it's not official yet as far as I can tell. Share this post Link to post

Lots of discussion about the gore/effects on "The Strain": http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/features/the-rise-of-grossout-tv-20140918 I enjoyed your article. I've gotta say that I watch a lot of these shows (TWD, The Strain, GoTs) in spite of the violence and gore not because of it. Given my druthers, I opt for things like The Others, The Haunting (1962 original) even "The Innocents". But I'm not proud, I take my chills any way I can get them. It's not easy to find the elegant horror stories anymore. 2 Share this post Link to post
Omar G. 390 September 29, 2014 Thanks Omar, good for you! I watched "Kolchak: The Night Stalker". I wonder how it would present today. It was scary then. They did a version in 2005 but it didn't do well. There's rumors of a movie version in the works with Johnny Depp attached, but who knows if that's true. Share this post Link to post

Bruinsfan 16,763 July 13, 2015 There's rumors of a movie version in the works with Johnny Depp attached, but who knows if that's true. God, I hope not. It's about time for him to be relegated to small character roles in the movies of people other than Tim Burton. Or appearing as Captain Jack Sparrow at bar mitzvahs. Share this post Link to post
Omar G. 390 July 21, 2015 A heads-up in case you missed it. The Strain is the lead topic of discussion on this week's "Extra Hot Great" podcast. (I was the guest and as always, it was tons of fun.) 1 Share this post Link to post
ottoDbusdriver 15,391 August 7, 2015 Good news everyone !! Renewed for Season 3. Which means more adventures of Fet. Maybe Corey Stoll can finally get rid of that thing on Eph's head. And Zach can die a horrible death. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/08/07/the-strain-renewed-for-season-3-by-fx/444792/ Share this post Link to post

MrsRafaelBarba 13,330 November 23, 2015 I follow Kevin Durand on Twitter. Production on S3 begins next week in Canada. Still on the fence about tuning in next summer, Nora's death really pissed me off. 1 Share this post Link to post
diebartdie 3,041 November 28, 2015 Right there with you MrsRafaelBarba, not only did I not want her to die but if she just HAD to get infected and die, WHY didnt she load up on the vamp killer potion stuff and go on the The Master's Lair? WHY WASTE THE OPPORTUNITY!?!?!?!?!?! No, I think I'd rather watch The Man in the High Castle for my Nazi fix and Z Nation + TWD for my gross gore fix. OK I never in a million years would have thought I would want a "nazi fix" so maybe I'll go back to bed now.... Share this post Link to post
TheRabbi 1,462 May 11, 2016 Per FutonCritic, season 3 will premiere on Sunday, August 28. Personally, the only reason I stuck with season 2 is because it started in July, there wasn't much else on in the summer, and I knew it would be over before Halloween. Now knowing it will run for most all of the fall season, and with how bad season 2 was, I don't think I will be watching. 1 Share this post Link to post
