Kelly Overton has taken the lead spot
in Syfy's upcoming 13-episode series centered on Vanessa Helsing, the next warrior in the famous Van
Helsing lineage, who is resurrected five years in the future and must use her
unique abilities to lead humankind in a world overrun with vampires.
Perhaps best known for playing Rikki
Naylor, Alcide's love interest in the fifth season of True Blood, Overton's
credits also include roles in Beauty and the Beast, It Runs in the Family, All
My Children, and Legend most recently.

Joining Overton are Jonathan Scarfe (Hell
on Wheels), Christopher Heyerdahl (Sanctuary), Paul Johansson (Mad Men), David
Cubitt (Ray Donovan), and Tim Guinee (Homeland).
Scarfe will play Axel, a "career
Marine with unwavering
devotion and loyalty to both duty and his wards, despite years of isolation and
endless vampire attacks." Heyerdahl and Cubitt will play survivors of the
vampire Rising, while Johansson and Guinee will play vampires.
Johansson's bloodsucking character is
the "patient and calculating" leader of the vampires, who was turned
before the Rising, while Ted (Guinee) is a foot soldier.
Nurse Betty and Hell on Wheels' Neil LaBute will act
as the series showrunner and executive producer along with Simon Barry, Evan Tyler, Dave Brown, Daniel March and Chad
Oakes and Mike Frisley for Nomadic Pictures.
