Van Helsing: Bid Farewell to the Vampire-Horror Series on Netflix
Get ready to bid farewell to all seasons of a beloved vampire-horror series on Netflix next month. Based on Zenescope Entertainment’s Helsing graphic novels, the show follows Vanessa Van Helsing, the daughter of the renowned vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by supernatural beings, Vanessa possesses a unique blood composition that can transform vampires back into humans. As the series progresses, Vanessa and her allies face increasingly dangerous adversaries.
Originally developed by Neil LaBute for Syfy, Van Helsing premiered on July 31, 2016. Following LaBute's departure as showrunner after Season 3, Jonathan Walker took over the reins. The show concluded with its series finale, "Novissima Solis," airing on June 25, 2021, totaling 65 episodes. Kelly Overton leads the cast as Vanessa, alongside Jonathan Scarfe, Missy Peregrym, Christopher Heyerdahl, David Cubitt, Vincent Gale, and Rukiya Bernard in supporting roles.
Receiving mixed reviews, Van Helsing holds a Metacritic score of 54 from critics and 5.1 from users. Its average user approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes stands at 57% across all five seasons. For those unfamiliar with the character, Abraham Van Helsing originated in Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula as a multifaceted expert on vampires. The character has since inspired various adaptations, including the 2004 film "Van Helsing" starring Hugh Jackman.
