Cast and Crew of The Strain

The Strain

"The Strain" is a captivating high-concept thriller that brings together an ensemble of compelling characters, each with their unique roles to play in the face of a terrifying outbreak. The series revolves around Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, portrayed by the talented Corey Stoll, who serves as the head of the Center for Disease Control's Canary Team in the bustling city of New York. The Canary Team is a specialized unit that deals with potential pandemics and biological threats, making them the first responders when a mysterious viral outbreak begins to spread panic throughout the city.

Adding to the dynamic cast is Kevin Durand, who delivers a standout performance as Vasiliy Fet, an exterminator with a unique set of skills that prove invaluable as the show progresses. Fet's character arc complements Dr. Goodweather's as they both confront the escalating crisis, their combined expertise forming a formidable alliance against the unfathomable threat.

Together, Dr. Goodweather and his team, along with everyday New Yorkers, find themselves locked in a battle for humanity's very survival. As the infection begins to spread, it becomes increasingly clear that this is no ordinary viral outbreak. Instead, the virus carries the unmistakable hallmarks of an ancient and otherworldly strain of vampirism, which threatens to consume the city and beyond. With the stakes higher than ever, Dr. Goodweather, Vasiliy Fet, and their allies must navigate the dark underbelly of New York City, as well as their own personal demons, to combat the evil that threatens to plunge humanity into eternal darkness.

Ran for 5 seasons.
