The Strain Returning for Fourth & Final Season

LOS ANGELES: The fourth season of The Strain, set to air on FX in summer 2017, will be the show’s last.

With season four, Carlton Cuse, Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan are bringing the thriller to its conclusion. The show is currently airing in its third season on FX and is produced by FX Productions.

“We sincerely thank Carlton Cuse, Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan and their creative team as well as the fantastic cast for three exciting seasons of The Strain,” said Nick Grad, co-president of original programming at FX Networks and FX Productions. “Though we’re sad to see it go, we fully support the way in which they are crafting the fourth season’s dramatic conclusion.”

“It is a true joy to work at FX where creative intentions always comes first,” said Cuse, showrunner and executive producer. “Our original plan was for the series to last three years. Once we began telling that story it expanded to be more. After finishing the writing on season three, Guillermo, Chuck and I looked at our remaining story and felt the best version could be told in one more season. We have a fantastic plan for an exciting and climactic season four. We are deeply grateful to FX for supporting our vision and for allowing us to end the show on our own timetable.”
