The 13-episode series, from acclaimed filmmaker Neil LaBute, will focus on
Vanessa Helsing (True Blood’s Kelly Overton), the latest in a long line of
famed monster hunters. The series will feature an intriguing twist on the
Dracula story, with Vanessa being resurrected in a future in which vampires
rule the world. Discovering that she holds a mysterious power over them (the
bloodsuckers, that is), Vanessa must lead what’s left of humanity against the
vamps in a post-Rising world.
Also starring Jonathan Scarfe ("Hell on Wheels"), Paul Johansson
("Mad Men"), Christopher Heyerdahl ("Sanctuary"), David
Cubitt ("Ray Donovan"), and Tim Guinee ("Homeland"), Van
Helsing premieres September 23 on Syfy.
Season one of the
show will follow Van Helsing as she leads the Resistance across the Wasteland,
in the former America, in search of the hole in the sky in Colorado.
First, they will have
to find the scientist Klaus, who is the key to the mission, as it’s his device
and knowhow, which can harness the sun’s power.
With Klaus, they will
head to Colorado and hope the rumors are true, that the sun is as strong as a
vampire’s bite. They will come across human fortresses and vampire strongholds-some friendly, most not. They will help those humans when they can, and they
will kill whatever gets in their way. It will be violent and vicious, but Van
Helsing is a warrior who is up to the task.
What they will learn
is that time is not on their side, as Balthazar thirsts for Van’s blood. If he
can slay the great vampire hunter no one in the land can possibly doubt his
power. Balthazar will not be stopped by Dominic and will seize control of his
domain if that’s what it takes. But Dominic’s massive human population feeds an
impressive army, which is always prepared for a fight and happens to be
directly in Van’s path to Colorado. Dominic is obsessed with Van for entirely
different reasons, if she is the crown jewel of the human race she belongs in
his collection of the finest humans left on Earth. His ego and lifestyle might
make him naïve to Balthazar’s cunning ways, but Dominic has more resources than
any other Superior leader and not even Balthazar can defeat Dominic’s army.
Luther has been
hiding in the darkness for three years. When all seems lost for our heroes, he
will emerge. In Van Helsing he sees a new possibility for his vision of
coexistence. But the war has already escalated and a whole lot of fighting must
happen first. Vanessa Helsing will lead the team to Colorado, they will be the
first people to see the uninterrupted pure sun, the original source of life on
Earth. The victory was brutal and costly, but now their real task can begin –
rebuilding and planning an offensive to take back their land. Unfortunately,
not all is as it seems, and not everyone on the team should have been trusted.
