There's no the Strain Season 2 release date yet but here is a good news for the fans. If in the first season writer and creator Guillermo Del Toro only directed one episode, which is the pilot, it is possible for you to see him more often at the helm of the vampire series once it returns. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the 50-year old director said that he wants to be involved more on the second season of the Strain, a FX series which is based on a trilogy novel he co-write with Chuck Hogan.
"My hope is that I remain in that capability for the entire season. I originally was going to do a very small project around April or May, but there are some issues in the family that I have to take care of," Del Toro said when asked about his plans for the Strain Season 2.
"So I decided that staying put was the best idea for the family, and "The Strain" allows me to do that, allows me to basically 20 minutes away from home. I'll be shooting the pre-credit prologue of the pilot, I'll be shooting the Silver Angel black and white Mexican movies, and I've been doing second unit last week, and I'll continue to do it, God willing, through the season."
Fans will have to wait further to know about the Strain Season 2 release date as the team only started productions last month. However, when the show premieres, they can expect an even better series with better story lines. According to Guillermo del Toro, he wants to improve some aspect of the show.
"First of all, the easiest part, the one that comes naturally, is that we have such a wealth of mythology and biology to unfold. The one thing the first season was short of was all the biological talk that occurred in the first book. It ended up being more driven by set pieces or by character interaction than the actual way the epidemic is dealt with," he said.
"The other thing that I need to do is expand the epidemic more in terms of social consequence and scope. The way the epidemic starts to grow quadrant by quadrant and starts affecting the lives of people in the city, in the country, in the world - that's part of the growth of season two. We need to lay the seeds for the apocalypse, essentially. So, there's plenty of work, and not only plenty of work, but plenty of things that make it naturally: A. a growth season and B: a different season than the first one."
The Strain Season 2 will see the main cast reprise their roles. Corey Stoll as Dr. Eph Goodweather, David Bradley as Professor Abraham Setrakian, Mia Maestro as Dr. Nora Martinez, and Kevin Duran as Vasiliy Fet.
