During the network’s recent upfront presentation in New York, FX president John Landgraf showcased the high-profile drama pilot, which is based on del Toro’s books.

Landgraf said The Strain “will reinvent the vampire horror genre.”

The series has a full writing staff in place and they’re working on first-season scripts in anticipation of a series pickup. 

The show, if it gets the green light, would air in 2014.
