Nick Stahl, known for his roles in the films The Man Without a Face, In the Bedroom, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Sin City, has signed on to star in the upcoming Showtime drama Let the Right One In. He joins previously announced castmates Demián Bichir, Anika Noni Rose, Grace Gummer, Madison Taylor Baez, Kevin Carroll, Ian Foreman, Larry Pine, and Jacob Buster on the series.
“Let the Right One In is inspired by the original Swedish novel and romantic horror film of the same name, dealing with the themes of human frailty, strength and compassion. The show centers on Mark (Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Baez), whose lives were changed forever when she was turned into a vampire a decade ago. Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the bloody sustenance she needs in order to survive. In the show, Stahl will play the character Matthew, described as a soldier and fiercely loyal fixer for the Logan family, who hides savagery beneath a clean-cut and mild-mannered exterior.”
Andrew Hinderaker (Penny Dreadful) is showrunning and executive producing the series and has written the pilot episode. Seith Mann (Elementary, Homeland) directed the pilot, and will be directing additional episodes.
Let the Right One In is scheduled to drop on Showtime later this year. Are you looking forward to this series?
