The Final Season of Guillermo Del Toro's THE STRAIN Gets Premiere Date

FX has announced that the fourth and final season of The Strain will premiere on Sunday, July 16th at 10PM. Deadline reveals some detail on the vampire drama thriller saying that it picks up nine months after the Season 3 finale:

"...with the world having fallen into darkness and the strigoi in control following the explosion at the end of Season 3 that triggered a global nuclear apocalypse. The resulting nuclear winter liberated the strigoi, allowing them to move about during daytime, and allowing the Master to establish a totalitarian regime. Preying on the fears of the populace, the Master and his minions have created an unsettling alliance in “The Partnership.” The majority of humans now are working for the strigoi, operating with a single understanding — collaborate or die."

The show is based on Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s best-selling The Strain Trilogy.

It's a little sad that this show is wrapping up after 4 seasons, but it's probably for the best. It's always lame when a good show dilutes its story just to stretch into more and more seasons, I'm looking at you Walking Dead. At the same time, four seasons is the perfect length for a show to be binged on Netflix. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this story ends.
