When you’re studying this, somebody you recognize watches a criminal offense present on CBS. You won’t bear in mind that particular person 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 little more bloody.
Deadline studies 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, nonetheless, might 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 unravel New York Metropolis’s most harrowing instances.”
Do these “harrowing instances” contain vampires and different monsters? They rattling nicely 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—in addition to everybody, endlessly 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 an analogous method to Sherlock Holmes with CBS’s Elementary, and might be written by Jonathan Lee, who wrote a brand new Netflix and BBC sequence referred to as Lockerbie starring Colin Firth.
I’ve by no means discovered any CBS crime present to be significantly attention-grabbing however every one finds a barely new twist on a confirmed system. It definitely appears the community thinks Van Helsing, and all of the lore that comes with the character, could possibly be that after once more. Do you agree?
