FX has announced that it has renewed Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse’s The Strain for a fourth and final season, which will air next year.
“It is a true joy to work at FX where creative intentions always comes first,” said showrunner Carlton Cuse. “Our original plan was for the series to last three years. Once we began telling that story it expanded to be more. After finishing the writing on season three, Guillermo, Chuck and I looked at our remaining story and felt the best version could be told in one more season. We have a fantastic plan for an exciting and climatic season four. We are deeply grateful to FX for supporting our vision and for allowing us to end the show on our own timetable.”
“We sincerely thank Carlton Cuse, Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan and their creative team as well as the fantastic cast for three exciting seasons of The Strain,” said Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, presidents of original programming for FX Networks. “Though we’re sad to see it go, we fully support the way in which they are crafting the fourth season’s dramatic conclusion.”
The third season of The Strain is currently airing on FX, and you can keep up to date with all of our coverage and reviews of the series here.
