Missy Peregrym Joins Season 2 of Van Helsing

When our fierce Dracula inspired series, Van Helsing, returns for Season 2, Missy Peregrym (Fargo, Hell on Wheels) will be joining the fold! Peregrym will play Scarlett Harker, a woman with a mysterious past who might help turn the tide against the vampires.

HARKER… as in Mina Harker? As in the Mina Harker who was played by Winona Ryder in Bram Stoker's 1991 Dracula, and was kind of Dracula's main squeeze?

Guys. This is a big deal! Such a big deal that even Van Helsing showrunner, Neil LaBute agrees.

"We are so lucky and happy to have Missy join the Van Helsing team this season" says LaBute. "The series thrives on female energy & power and we're getting two barrels full with Missy's talents. I can't wait to see her jump into battle alongside Kelly Overton (Vanessa Van Helsing) and the rest of the cast with all we have planned for them in Season 2."

Season 2 of Val Helsing will return with all-new stakes (see what we did there?) in 2017, but in the meanwhile, you can catch up on all action by watching full episodes.
