The Master (Jack Kesy) is young and powerful. Zach (Max Charles) and his mom are reunited. Nora (Mia Maestro) is dead. And hope is fading. The only thread they have is the Occido Lumen, the ancient tome that holds the secrets of destroying the strigoi. How can they prevail? FX’s First Look at Season 3 of The Strain is filled with bits of what’s to come, and has Carlton Cuse and the cast’s take on the season.

Check out the video below.

Cuse, Ruta Gedmintas, Kevin Durand, Miguel Gomez, Richard Sammel (still scary), David Bradley, Corey Stoll, Natalie Brown, and Samantha Mathis speak to the struggle of the characters and the battle that is to come.

Gedmintas: “A catastrophic battle between humanity and monsters.” I love Dutch.

You see a glimpse of a confrontation between Eph and strigoi Kelly – we knew that was coming. I hope the consciousness The Master gave Kelly causes her to protect Zach from the virus. I cannot wait for this scary (and fun!) show to come back to my living room.

The Strain will be at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, July 21st from 3:15-4:15pm PST.
