The new Van Helsing TV series from Syfy channel has found its Van Helsing. And it’s Vanessa Helsing, to you!

Kelly Overton (Legends, True Blood) will play the titular vampire killer in the show, which will be overseen by playwright/screenwriter Neil LaBute. (His involvement still baffles and fascinates me.) Nomadic Pictures (Fargo, Hell On Wheels) will be producing the 13-episode series, which kicks off production later this month.
