Vampire slayer Abraham Van Helsing will return to the silver screen in a new Van Helsing series for CBS.

Jonathan Lee, the author behind Netflix and the BBC’s upcoming drama series Lockerbie, has been tapped to write the television series, with Deadline reporting that the show “is believed to have landed at CBS after a hotly contested auction”. Elementary’s Rob Doherty will be executive producing the horror series alongside Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman under their deal with Lionsgate Television.

The show is intended as a contemporary take on the monster hunter; Dr. Abraham Van Helsing uses his uniquely inquisitive mind working alongside his ex, relentless FBI special agent Mina Harker, to solve New York City’s most harrowing cases.

The recent Syfy series, also titled Van Helsing, was a five-season long horror-fantasy show centred on a new character played by Kelly Overton, Vanessa Van Helsing, a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing. The iconic vampire-hunting character also got a solo movie back in 2004, with Hugh Jackman starring in the title role.

No word yet on who might star in this new Van Helsing series, but stay tuned to find out more about casting, a release date, and more as we hear it!
