Last year it was announced that Showtime was working on a pilot that would be an updated version of the 2008 film, Let The Right One In. The Swedish movie was based on the novel by John Ajvide Lindkvist which eventually spawned a U.S. remake called Let Me In. The latter was not well received by fans of the original film. It had previously been announced that the book was being translated again for the cable outlet as they were developing the pilot. Now it's been formally announced that the show has been granted a 10 episode order by Showtime and will head into full production.
Demian Bichir, Anika Noni Rose, Grace Gummer, Madison Taylor Baez, Kevin Carroll and numerous others have joined the cast of the upcoming project.
Let The Right One In will focus on a father and daughter as they struggle to cope with her being turned into a vampire and her being locked at the age of 12 forever.
The series has taken several years to get off the ground as it was initially being shopped to A&E and TNT.
