The vampire-themed series set in New York, picks up from last season where audiences were first introduced to the embodiment of evil - The Master.  Dr. Ephraim Goodweather played by Corey Stoll and his allies had tried to destroy this evil creature and failed. Now Goodweather and Dr. Nora Martinez played by Mia Maestro, put their energies together to create a biological weapon to wipe out The Master and his increasing army of creatures.

David Bradley returns in his role as Professor Abraham Setrakian, a Holocaust survivor turned New York pawnshop owner who is searching for an ancient book he hopes will reveal the strigoi’s entire history, and possibly a way to kill them. Meanwhile, The Master is out for revenge this season, unleashing new and even more terrifying breeds of bloodthirsty creatures on the city.

The team needs to find a way to defeat him before the infection spreads too far and becomes irreparable, and before they too become monsters themselves.

Catch The Strain weekly at 21:20, from Monday, 13 July only on FOX channel 125, DStv and channel 131, StarSat.
