If you happen to’re studying this, somebody you understand watches against the law present on CBS. You won’t bear in mind that particular person watches the present, however numbers don’t lie. Reveals like NCIS, CSI, Legal Minds, FBI, SWAT, Blue Bloods, and others have been a gold mine for the community and now its newest one is getting a little more bloody.
Deadline experiences that CBS’s newest addition to its wild assortment of procedural crime shows is Van Helsing. Sure, everybody’s favourite vampire hunter is coming to CBS. This model, nevertheless, will probably be “a recent 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 resolve New York Metropolis’s most harrowing circumstances.”
Do these “harrowing circumstances” contain vampires and different monsters? They rattling effectively higher! In any other case, why the heck make a Van Helsing present? Syfy had pretty solid success with the property from 2016 to 2021, in any case. And who can overlook the 2004 Hugh Jackman film with Kate Beckinsale—moreover everybody, eternally and at all times?
Nonetheless, 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 an analogous method to Sherlock Holmes with CBS’s Elementary, and will probably be written by Jonathan Lee, who wrote a brand new Netflix and BBC sequence known as Lockerbie starring Colin Firth.
I’ve by no means discovered any CBS crime present to be significantly 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, may very well be that when once more. Do you agree?
