Based on the Dracula legend, creative genius Neil LaBute, was chosen by Mike Frislev, and Chad Oakes of Nomadic Pictures to create the Van Helsing series based upon Neil’s successful theatre stage play adaptation of Dracula! The post apocalyptic series, based in modern times, is a runaway hit on SYFY!

LaBute, an accomplished screen writer, Producer, and Director, has twenty years of accomplishments to his credit culminating in a rise to dominance in the past five years with fine work in many television series including Billy and Billie, Full Circle, and now with a new masterpiece, Van Helsing!

As Van Helsing approaches the conclusion of the scintillating second season we at #TeamWHR are hopeful the series will be renewed for a third, fourth and fifth season to round out the exciting adventures that began in Seattle, Washington on September 23, 2016.

Chad Oakes, Mike Frislev and Neil LaBute appeared at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 with main cast members Aleks Paunovic, Kelly Overton (via video link), Christopher Heyerdahl, Jonathan Scarfe, Rukiya Bernard, and the new fabulous fighting character in Van Helsing, the lovely Scarlett Harker, portrayed by the marvelous Missy Peregrym!
