“The Strain” will continue to infect FX.
On Tuesday, FX announced it had ordered a 13-episode Season 2.
“We’ve never had any doubts about ‘The Strain,'” John Landgraf, CEO, FX Networks and FX Productions, said in a statement. “Working with Guillermo del Toro, Carlton Cuse, and the brilliant cast led by Corey Stoll has been everything we had hoped it would be and more. It is thrilling when you have a show that is a creative and commercial hit, which is a rare accomplishment in this increasingly crowded marketplace. We look forward having it on FX for as long as Carlton, Guillermo and Chuck Hogan need to tell this epic tale.”
