If you happen to’re studying this, somebody you understand watches a criminal offense present on CBS. You may not remember 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 reviews 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, will likely 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 neglect the 2004 Hugh Jackman film with Kate Beckinsale—in addition to everybody, perpetually 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 the same method to Sherlock Holmes with CBS’s Elementary, and will likely be written by Jonathan Lee, who wrote a brand new Netflix and BBC collection known as Lockerbie starring Colin Firth.
I’ve by no means discovered any CBS crime present to be significantly fascinating however each finds a barely new twist on a confirmed formulation. It actually appears the community thinks Van Helsing, and all of the lore that comes with the character, may very well be that after once more. Do you agree?
