The Strain will be all about saving New York in season 3

“The Strain” is evolving in its third season. The cast and crew of the FX horror series debuted new opening credits and the first part of the third-season première Thursday at San Diego’s ComicCon International. “This season is really an all-out battle for the soul of New York,” said “The Strain” executive producer Carlton Cuse. The clip featured Corey Stoll’s cautious scientist Ephraim Goodweather tinkering with a biological weapon to combat the series’ vampirelike creatures and Kevin Durand’s streetwise exterminator Vasiliy Fet teaming up with a group of soldiers. Durand was joined at the pop-culture convention by his “Strain” co-stars Ruta Gedmintas, Miguel Gomez, Richard Sammel and co-creator Chuck Hogan. The third season, which is scheduled to debut Aug. 28, will be 10 instead of 13 episodes.
