What you are about to watch is a promotional spot for The Strain Season 3, set to debut later this month on FX. Or is it a clip from the upcoming season? I’m not sure which one is correct.
“Join the Strigoi Today” is the promo’s pitch as led by Thomas Eichorst (Richard Sammel), director of Strigoi recruitment. Eichorst pitches all the reasons why remaining human is lame and why becoming a vampire will help you cheat death and not have to worry about annoying genitalia. Plus you get to poop ammonia so there’s that going for the vampires.
FX calls this thing a clip but the more I look at it the more obvious its promotional intentions become. This is The Strain, after all, not Robocop.
The Season 3 premiere of The Strain on August 28th is coming up fast so set your DVR accordingly. I’m looking forward to see what kind of tactics Ephraim and the gang use against the Master this time around.
