FX said Tuesday that the series will be produced
by the books' authors, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and Chuck
Hogan. Del Toro, whose film credits include "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy,"
co-wrote and directed the pilot episode. Writer-producer Carlton
Cuse of "Lost" and "Bates Motel" will be the producer in charge. FX says the series follows a New York disease control team
investigating a mysterious viral outbreak that's linked to "an
evil strain of vampirism." Corey Stoll of "House of Cards" and "Midnight in Paris" plays
the head of the team. Others in the ensemble cast include Mia
Maestro and Sean Astin. "The Strain" is scheduled to debut next July on FX. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
