  • 09 July 2014

The Strain is based on Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan's novel trilogy of the same name. The series follows a group of humans as they attempt to contain an outbreak of vampires New York. Corey Stoll stars as one of the scientists sent to deal with the outbreak.

Stoll is best known for his role in Netflix's House of Cards in which he starred in the first season as U.S. Representative Peter Russo. He has appeared in numerous films including Midnight in Paris and The Bourne Legacy, but The Strain looks as though it could push him well and truly into the spotlight.

The Strain airs on FX on Sunday 13th July at 10pm.
