CBS have announced a recontextualised series called Van Helsing.
In this version, Van Helsing teams up with an ex-girlfriend, Mina Harker, in modern day New York to fight vampires - each episode will be in a procedural format - not unlike Elementary, I imagine.
Gee, that must have taken executives all of ten seconds to formulate ("Hey, I've got an idea, why don't we.......)
I'm not optimistic - but then I didn't like the Van Helsing series on SyFy and that ran for five years so what do I know? I found that series' post-synch industrial vibe too heavy for my tastes. I'm one of those strange people who actually liked the baroque Hugh Jackman version and would like to have seen more - how about you?
