Yes! "The Strain" is actually the first book in a trilogy. The other two books are "The Fall" and "The Night Eternal".
The books are fantastic and I have read that Del Toro and Chuck Hogan (they wrote the books together) envision the first two books covering the first two seasons and the third book would cover two to three seasons. It is filmed in a documentary style. If the show opens like the first book does - and it better! - then I think people will be hooked immediately.
It also stars-
David Bradley (Harry Potter movies and 'Game of Thrones')
Kevin Durand (Sgt. Keamy from 'Lost')
Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings movies and 'Goonies')
Plus lots of Canadian actors as it films in Toronto.
The promo poster is awesome.
Can't wait to watch it! And since Del Toro is writing most of the episodes and directing a few, too; I have faith that it will stay true to the books.

Thanks. Sounds interesting. I might stay away from the books so I can watch the series without knowing much (as I do with GoT). Is the third book that much longer or have that much more material? That's a weird distribution of the seasons.

Is it going to be set in New York?
