CBS is developing a Van Helsing series with a modern-day crime fighter twist. Written by Jonathan Lee and from Elementary creator Rob Doherty, the show will focus on Dr. Abraham Van Helsing and ex-fbi agent Mina Harker. Could the show reinvigorate the character after the panned 2004 effort led by Hugh Jackman?

An underrated Hugh Jackman action horror movie is all set to be turned into a series, with CBS now developing a Van Helsing show. The series will reportedly turn Abraham Van Helsing, who was first introduced in Bram Stokers Dracula novel way, way back in the before times of 1897, into a modern-day crime fighter. As per a report by Deadline, the Van Helsing series is being written by Jonathan Lee, the author best known for the Netflix and BBC drama series Lockerbie, with CBS reportedly winning the rights to the project after a hotly contested auction.

Famous monster hunter Van Helsing is making his way to primetime with a new crime procedural series in development at CBS that will see Dr. Abraham Van Helsing working alongside his ex, FBI agent Mina Harker, to solve some of New York City's "most harrowing cases," per Deadline.

The character of Van Helsing was first introduced into the horror lexicon through Bram Stoker's classic 1897 gothic horror novel Dracula. In the original story, Van Helsing is a jack-of-all-trades type character, as he's not just a doctor but a polymath who doubles as a scientist, professor, philosopher, and more.

Deadline reports that Jonathan Lee (Lockerbie) is writing, with Elementary creator Rob Doherty set to executive produce. The series won't be produced in-house by Paramount but instead by Lionsgate Television. Prolific producers Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly are executive producing as part of their overall deal with Lionsgate.

This Van Helsing article contains major spoilers for the season 5 premiere.

From the dynamically retooled opening title sequence to the Jack-centric Transylvania storyline, it takes only moments to recognize that Van Helsing’s fifth and final season promises to take fans on a wild ride as it brings to a close its delightfully circuitous tale of horror’s most iconic vampire hunting family. Season premiere “Past Tense” doesn’t represent the first time the Van Helsing family story finds itself in the past, but there seems to be a more concerted effort this time to employ traditional time travel elements as the unanswered questions mount.

It’s been sixteen months since the season four finale, but the head of the Van Helsing clan remains noticeably absent from the story even though her imprint is unmistakable. Fans of the series understand Kelly Overton’s (Vanessa Van Helsing) pregnancy last season limited her participation,...

"She is humanity's last hope, as her unique blood composition gives her the ability to turn vampires human. With this secret weapon, Vanessa becomes a prime target for the vampires.

Because Van Helsing season 5 is the show’s final run, expectations are high that the vampire apocalypse series will be able to end on its own terms and provide closure to fans. Showrunner Jonathan Lloyd Walker, who took over from Neil Labute in season 4, recently confirmed on Twitter that production has wrapped, so fans won’t have long to wait to see a conclusion to the story of Vanessa Van Helsing, the descendant of the famed vampire hunter who has the power to reverse the conversion of humans into bloodsucking fiends.

Entering our last week on #VanHelsing I must say thank-you to a group seldom thought about at season/series wrap. Family. Partners, kids, friends… all endure a lot of stress, separation and extra work supporting cast/crew through long hours & days. You make the dream possible.

After witnessing the series’ titular hero and devoted followers battle the vagaries of a global vampire pandemic for four years, Van Helsing prepares to return for its fifth and final season with a virtual appearance on a Comic-Con@Home Panel Discussion. Though short on specific plot details about the upcoming season, the cast and crew, nonetheless, give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the daunting challenges the show faces as the first television series to resume production in North America.

Of course, fans of the Syfy post-apocalyptic horror tale are most concerned with when Van Helsing will return to the air and whether the oft absent Vanessa (Kelly Overton) will resume her role as the chief vampire slayer after disappearing into a mysterious vortex in last season’s seventh episode. Executive Producer Chad Oakes revealed that though the network likely won’t make an announcement until September, its intention remains for...

Syfy said today that production has resumed on the fifth and final season of Van Helsing, its action-horror series from Nomadic Pictures and Dynamic Television. Sons of Anarchy alum Kim Coates has joined the cast along with Ali Liebert and Steve Bacic.

Coates — who co-starred as “Tig” Trager on Soa — will play Count Dalibor, the husband of Olivia who, despite his best intentions, makes some disastrous choices. Liebert will play Nina, a vampire with a colorful past that involves Julius (Aleks Paunovic) and a hidden agenda that entails a lot of death. Bacic will portray the father, a wild vampire who dresses in animal skins and has been hiding in an abandoned mine with a child.

Kelly Overton, Jonathan Scarfe, Tricia Helfer, Keeya King, Paunovic and Nicole Munoz star in Van Helsing, which its producers say is the first drama series to restart filming in Canada — namely Kamloops and Vancouver.

Syfy has been cleaning house and has cancelled a lot of its TV series lately -- shows with better and worse ratings than Van Helsing's. Only a few of the channel's existing series have been renewed. Will this one stick around or, is it already doomed? Will Van Helsing be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Tuesday, December 17, 2019.

Syfy is gearing up to say goodbye to another series.

The cable network has renewed Van Helsing for a fifth and final season, set to air sometime in 2020.

The news broke days before the Season 4 finale of the vampire drama.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring the amazing Van Helsing saga to a close,” said Chad Oakes, Executive Producer and Co-Chairman of Nomadic Pictures.

“This could not have been done without the support of our incredible cast, crew, Syfy, Netflix and SuperEcran.”

“We are so proud of Van Helsing and would like to thank Syfy and the amazing fans who embraced this series,” said Daniel March, Managing Partner, Dynamic Television.

“We are excited to end the show on its own terms and to give our story, these characters, and our fans the conclusion they so richly deserve.

Joseph Baxter Dec 17, 2019

Syfy’s Van Helsing has been renewed for a fifth and final season, set to properly close out the vampire-slaying series.

Van Helsing has spared its fans from speculating if the December 20 Season 4 finale will stand as the series finale, thanks to Syfy’s announcement of a fifth season, which will serve as the show’s final frame.

Syfy has given a 13-episode order for Van Helsing Season 5, which will premiere sometime in 2020, as revealed by THR. Production is expected to start early into the new year. With the finish line now clearly on the horizon, the series will be able to properly conclude its story, which has greatly evolved its mythology from an initial concept centered on Vanessa Van Helsing (Kelly Overton), who, bearing an innate ability to combat (and even cure) vampires, was brought back to life to serve as humanity’s last hope in a post-apocalyptic near-future.

The end is in sight for Syfy’s Van Helsing. Just days before its December 20 season 4 finale, the network has renewed the vampire drama series for a fifth and final season, Deadline has confirmed. Production on the 13-episode final season is slated to begin early next year for premiere in 2020.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring the amazing Van Helsing saga to a close,” said Chad Oakes, Executive Producer and Co-Chairman of Nomadic Pictures. “This could not have been done without the support of our incredible cast, crew, Syfy, Netflix and SuperEcran.”

“We are so proud of Van Helsing and would like to thank Syfy and the amazing fans who embraced this series,” said Daniel March, Managing Partner, Dynamic Television. “We are excited to end the show on its own terms and to give our story, these characters, and our fans the conclusion they so richly deserve.”

“Van Helsing” fans will get to sink their teeth into the fantasy drama one last time.

Syfy has announced it is renewing the vampire show for a fifth and final outing. The news comes only a few days ahead of the season 4 finale, which airs on Dec. 20.

“Van Helsing” is set in a world dominated and controlled by vampires. Season 4 continues the story of Vanessa Van Helsing and her band of heroes as they fight to reclaim the world after vampires took over during “The Rising.”

The most recent season of the show is averaging just under 300,000 total viewers through 12 episodes in the Live+Same Day ratings, down from the 380,000 average viewers who tuned in to season 3. Those numbers place it as the second least watched series on the network, only in front of “Happy!” which was canceled after a single season back in June.

Axel’s back, and he’s made a new friend. And though Kelly Overton’s Vanessa is noticeably absent from the episode, Van Helsing continues to artfully employ its recurring characters and guest stars to great advantage. Everybody’s got an agenda, and “Love Less” draws the triangle of Vanessa, Blak Tek, and the Dark One just a little bit tighter.

Does any actor play moral ambiguity better than Richard Harmon (The 100; Continuum)?
