FX renews The Strain for third season

“And Seasons 4 and 5 will be 10 episodes and that will be the end…. from the very beginning we talked about the first book will be the first season, the second book will be the second two seasons and the third book will be the last two seasons”. In its second season however, it has struggled somewhat in viewership, with ratings dropping over the course of the four weeks the program has been on air.

The Strain television series is a horror / thriller from Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse and is an adaptation of the best-selling The Strain Trilogy by del Toro and Chuck Hogan.

“Guillermo [del Toro] and Carlton [Cuse] have delivered two thrilling seasons of The Strain that are captivating and visually arresting, doing justice to the original novel trilogy and meeting fans’ high expectations in the process”, Schrier said in a statement. The city has been falling to an evil epidemic and it seems as if no one is planning to come to its rescue. Its citizens must fight or die.

I cant imagine that audiences would have reacted kindly to FX has they decided to cancel The Strain before taking on the rest of the story arcs laid out by showrunner Carlton Cuse and creators/novel authors Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.
