More casting news for Showtime’s “Let the Right One In” series has been announced by Deadline today, with Jimmie Saito (Sweetbitter), Josh Wingate (Priest) and Caroline Neff (Chicago P.D.) signing on for “heavily recurring roles” in the upcoming vampire series.
The series is of course based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel, which became Swedish movie Let the Right One In back in 2008, and then American remake Let Me In a couple years later.
Demián Bichir (The Nun) is attached to star in the “Let the Right One In” series, alongside Madison Taylor Baez, Željko Ivanek, Fernanda Andrade, Nick Stahl, Grace Gummer, Anika Noni Rose, Kevin Carroll, Ian Foreman and Jacob Buster.
“The series version centers on Mark (Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Baez), 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 human blood she needs to stay alive.”
The series has been given a 10-episode order from Showtime.
Andrew Hinderaker (Away) is the showrunner, with Seith Mann (Homeland) directing.
The project hails from Tomorrow Studios, who have been trying to get a “Let the Right One In” series off the ground for the last several years now, previously set up at A&E and TNT.
