Nick Stahl Joins Showtime’s Let the Right One In Series

Nick Stahl has been cast in Showtime’s horror drama series adaptation Let the Right One In, joining the previously announced Demián Bichir and Madison Taylor Baez, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Inspired by the original hit Swedish novel and film, the series centers on Mark (Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Baez) whose lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire,” reads the synopsis. “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. With these emotionally charged and terrifying ingredients as a starting point, Let the Right One In will upend genre expectations, turning a naturalistic lens on human frailty, strength and compassion.”

Stahl will play the character of Matthew, who is described as “a former soldier and fiercely loyal fixer for the Logan family, whose clean-cut, mild-mannered exterior belies a savagery beneath.”

The series also stars Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls, Power), Grace Gummer (Mr. Robot), Kevin Carroll (Snowfall), Ian Foreman (Merry Wish-Mas), and Jacob Buster (Colony).

Let The Right One In is executive produced by Andrew Hinderaker (Away, Penny Dreadful), who will also serve as showrunner along with Seith Mann (Homeland). Hinderaker wrote the pilot which was directed by Mann, who is also set to helm additional episodes. Executive producers are Mann, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, and Alissa Bachner, with Bichir also serving as a producer. It is a production by Tomorrow Studios.
