Pilot For LET THE RIGHT ONE IN Adapted Series Starring Demián Bichir Picked Up at Showtime

Showtime has ordered a pilot for a Let the Right One In series based on the hit Swedish novel and film of the same name. Demián Bichir (The Hateful Eight, The Nun) is attached to star in the series, with Andrew Hinderaker onboard as showrunner and executive producer. Seith Mann will also executive produce in addition to directing the pilot.

Variety reports, “The series centers on Mark (Bichir), a father and his 12-year-old daughter, Eleanor, whose lives were changed forever 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 minimal amount of human blood she needs to stay alive.”

Amy Israel, executive vice president of scripted programming for Showtime said of the series:

“’Let the Right One In’ quickly establishes itself as a thrilling, high-stakes drama that asks the question: How far would you go to save your child from the monsters out there – would you risk becoming a monster yourself? Demián Bichir is one of the world’s most dynamic and engrossing actors, and his charisma and vulnerability will surely bring Andrew Hinderaker’s exquisite script to life, guided by Seith Mann’s deft direction. We couldn’t be more excited about the potential of this show.”

This sounds like an interesting series. Are you a fan of the book or film? Are you looking forward to this show?
