Showtime’s take on the vampire tale Let the Right One In will premiere on the service just in time for Halloween.

Based on the 2004 novel Let the Right One In from author John Ajvide Lindqvist was made into a Swedish-language film in 2008 by director Tomas Alfredson and again as an English-language film by The Batman director Matt Reeves, starring Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloë Grace Moretz. Both films focused on the relationship between an isolated bullied boy and a similarly isolated girl, who just happens to be a vampire.

The Showtime series will star Eleanor Kane as the young vampire and Demián Bichir (The Nun) as her father Mark. Penny Dreadful director Andrew Hinderaker will serve as showrunner, executive producer and writer for the series. 

Hinderaker told Entertainment Weekly that his show will focus more on the father-daughter relationship than that of the young friends.

“The [original] film is about a relationship between an isolated bullied boy and an isolated lonely girl, who we learn is a vampire,” Hinderaker said. “What I found so compelling about that film is there’s a much smaller relationship between the vampire and [her] adult caretaker. I really used the film as inspiration for a story that really focuses on a 12-year-old girl who has been a vampire for 10 years. She has been taken care of by her father, who keeps her alive, who keeps them ahead of the law, and who has kept hope alive for both of them.”

The show also stars Anika Noni Rose (Power), Grace Gummer (Mr. Robot), Madison Taylor Baez, Kevin Carroll, Ian Foreman, Jacob Buster and Nick Stahl, who appeared in Fear the Walking Dead.
