Showtime has debuted the first trailer for the upcoming vampire thriller series Let the Right One In.
Based on John Avdje Lindqvist’s novel and director Tomas Alfredson’s acclaimed 2008 Swedish horror film of the same name, the series centres on Mark (Demian Bechir) as he tires to provide is daughter Eleanor (Madison Taylor Baez) with the blood she needs to stay alive after she was transformed into a vampire a decade earlier.
Inspired by the original hit Swedish novel and film, the series centers on Mark (Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Baez),whose lives were changed 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire. Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the human blood she needs to stay alive. With these emotionally charged and terrifying ingredients as a starting point, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN will upend genre expectations, turning a naturalistic lens on human frailty, strength and compassion.
