Vampires have emerged from the shadows of scarcity to dominate a dead new world in Syfy's Van Helsing series. Airing two new episodes tonight at 10:00pm ET, Van Helsing is teased in a set of photos and preview videos that explore the show's unique, high-stakes take on a descendant of Bram Stoker's legendary character.

"Fighting vampires is in her blood…

From the producers of “Fargo” and “Hell On Wheels,” and marking director/playwright Neil LaBute’s debut as showrunner, Syfy’s 13-part series VAN HELSING takes a new twist on the classic story of “Dracula.”

Set in a near future where vampires have risen and taken control, VAN HELSING stars Kelly Overton (“True Blood”) as Vanessa Van Helsing, a descendant of the famed Van Helsing line. Vanessa’s unique blood composition allows her to turn vampires to human – a secret weapon that makes her humanity’s last hope.

Airing on Syfy Fridays at 10/9c, the series will kick-off on September 23 with a special two-hour, double episode premiere."
