The vampire apocalypse continues, and there are plenty of changes in store for the series.
Heres what we learned at a recent press event.
All that is about to change asThe Strainpremieres on FX on July 12.
Heres what we found out.
The vampire killing crew is living in new, more roomy digs.
Fortunately, Vasiliy Fet, rat exterminator extraordinaire, has a place big enough for the whole team!
Its sort of like that first season onThe Real World, says Stoll.
Kevin Durand, who plays Fet in the show, agrees the new situation can be challenging.
Its nice to have the home base be at Fets this year, he admits.
I mean, hes kind of a lone wolf, you know?
So he loves his peace.
Its a great space for all of us to live there as characters.
The general public is becoming aware of whats going on in New York.
There are huge political ramifications.
Theyre trying to reach the president, and the government is definitely reeling from it.
How our politicians react to this new threat and this new paradigm that the world has been subjected to.
Eff and Nora begin fighting the virus by returning to their scientific origins.
As the latest promotional trailers show, the CDC doctors take to the lab to combat the outbreak.
Whether they are seeking a cure or a countermeasure is anyones guess, however.
Maestro is happy for the scientific approach.
Its what they know, she says.
As doctors, biochemists and workers for the CDC, thats what they know best.
Stoll thinks there might be some residual guilt for his character as well.
And that is his driving [force].
The previews seem to show Nora and Eff conducting experiments of a kind on a captured vampire.
Are they trying to torture or kill the strigoi, or are they attempting to cure an infected human?
It may be that the two scientists have had to take extreme measures to fight in this new reality.
The vampires continue to evolve and adapt to bring down humanity.
How will he and his minions fight back?
Kelly is very singular in her focus, Brown says.
Connect in this case may also mean turning him!
A transformation is in store for the Master.
Some viewers did not care for the freakish but slightly goofy look of the Master in season one.
The Strain creator, Guillermo del Toro gave us a bit of a teaser in that regard.
This season we explain that the Master can give you or take your will, he says.
We call it the leash.
We saw it at the end of the first season.
So will the Master repair his body, change his appearance, or borrow the bodies of others?
Will you be watchingThe Strainon FX this summer?
