Exhibits like NCIS, CSI, Prison 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 stories 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 probably 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 resolve New York Metropolis’s most harrowing instances.”
Do these “harrowing instances” contain vampires and different monsters? They rattling effectively 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 spite of everything. And who can overlook the 2004 Hugh Jackman film with Kate Beckinsale—apart from everybody, perpetually and all the time?
