Variety

The 10-episode Let the Right One In, based on the John Ajvide Lindqvist's hit 2004 Swedish novel and the 2008 film adaptation of the same name, has been ordered to series six months after it received a pilot order. Bichir leads a cast that includes Anika Noni Rose, Grace Gummer, Madison Taylor Baez, Kevin Carroll, Ian Foreman and Jacob Buster. Let the Right One In, written by showrunner Andrew Hinderaker, "centers on Mark (Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Baez) whose lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire," p er Variety. "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 human blood she needs to stay alive." Let the Right One In was adapted as an American movie in 2010. TNT previously ordered a pilot adaptation in 2017 that it ultimately rejected.
