Showtime has ordered a pilot for a series inspired by the hit 2004 Swedish novel “Let the Right One In” and its subsequent 2008 film adaptation.
Demian Bichir is attached to star in the series about Mark, a father and his 12-year-old daughter, Eleanor, whose lives were changed forever ten years earlier when she was turned into a vampire.
Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night while her father does his best to provide her with the minimal amount of human blood she needs to stay alive.
Andrew Hinderaker is on board as showrunner and executive producer while Seith Mann will also executive produce and direct the pilot.
This will mark the third U.S. remake of the property following Matt Reeves’ “Let Me In” film in 2010, and a failed TNT pilot in 2017 that didn’t get picked up.
