Remember last year when we all fretted over A&E's proposed Let the Right One In series, but then it kind of vanished from the radar? Well, I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that the show has been resurrected, with the TNT network ordering a pilot for the series. The good news is that you can still buy LET THE RIGHT ONE IN on Blu-Ray, so you can watch it and pretend this never happened.
Says Sarah Aubrey, EVP of original programming for TNT: “Let the Right One In combines elements of horror, revenge thriller and adolescent romance into an unforgettable and truly unsettling tale. This novel is a watershed of rich storytelling, making it an abundant source from which Jeff, Marty, Becky and Simon will bring to life in this all-new adaptation.”
Let the Right One In is an eerie drama about a young boy, long tormented by his classmates, who finds solace in a friendship with a charismatic female vampire who appears to be near his age. The vampire settles into the boy’s small Vermont town with her mysterious caretaker, just as a series of bizarre murders begins attracting the attention of law enforcement.
The Let the Right One In pilot was written by Jeff Davis (Teen Wolf, Criminal Minds). Davis will executive produce with Marty Adelstein (Teen Wolf), Becky Clements (Aquarius), and Simon Oakes (LET ME IN). The pilot is being produced by Tomorrow Studios in association with Turner’s Studio T.
