If you happen to’re studying this, somebody you already know watches against the law present on CBS. You may not bear in mind that individual watches the present, however numbers don’t lie. Exhibits like NCIS, CSI, Felony Minds, FBI, SWAT, Blue Bloods, and others have been a gold mine for the community and now its newest one is getting a bit of extra bloody.
Deadline experiences that CBS’s newest addition to its wild assortment of procedural crime exhibits is Van Helsing. Sure, everybody’s favourite vampire hunter is coming to CBS. This model, nonetheless, will probably be “a up to date tackle the monster hunter Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, who makes use of his uniquely inquisitive thoughts working alongside his ex, relentless FBI particular agent Mina Harker, to unravel New York Metropolis’s most harrowing instances.”
Do these “harrowing instances” contain vampires and different monsters? They rattling effectively higher! In any other case, why the heck make a Van Helsing present? Syfy had fairly stable success with the property from 2016 to 2021, in any case. And who can neglect the 2004 Hugh Jackman film with Kate Beckinsale—apart from everybody, eternally and all the time?
Nevertheless, this model, which apparently landed at CBS after a “hotly contested public sale,” has a confirmed pedigree. It’s govt produced by Rob Doherty, who took the same strategy to Sherlock Holmes with CBS’s Elementary, and will probably be written by Jonathan Lee, who wrote a brand new Netflix and BBC collection known as Lockerbie starring Colin Firth.
I’ve by no means discovered any CBS crime present to be notably attention-grabbing however each finds a barely new twist on a confirmed system. It actually appears the community thinks Van Helsing, and all of the lore that comes with the character, might be that after once more. Do you agree?
