Resurrection is a Bitch.
The female Van Helsing series will shoot in metro Vancouver this year, as expected. In the 13-episode series, newly created character Vanessa Helsing (yet to be cast) is the daughter of the vigilante vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, whom Bram Stroker originated in his 1897 novel Dracula. Resurrected five years into the future, Vanessa Helsing discovers that vampires rule the world and she’s humanity’s last hope to take it back from them.
