Let the Right One In was a 2004 Swedish horror novel that produced a 2008 Swedish movie, which in turn created a surprisingly good 2010 American remake, Let Me In. But luckily for us fans, the vampire party isn't over yet: Let the Right One In is currently in development by A&E as a television series.
For those of you who have been late to this particular party, Let the Right One In is about a bullied boy (Oskar in the Swedish version, Owen in the U.S.) and the relationship he has with his neighbor (Eli, Abby) ... who happens to be a vampire. It's a romance between a boy and blood-sucking fiend from hell and the sweetest movie with entrails you'll ever see.
More Let the Right One In
According to Hollywood Reporter, "The network is teeming with Teen Wolf showrunner Jeff Davis and actor-screenwriter Brandon Boyce to adapt the Swedish vampire story.
"The drama follows the boy and the female vampire, who lives in secrecy with her mysterious guardian. When a series of strange murders pops up in their small Vermont town, it attracts the attention of a federal marshal with a mysterious past of his own."
Teen Wolf has been a highly watchable MTV series for four (soon to be five) seasons. Similarities include 1) young supernatural protagonists 2) in a small town 3) that is beset by strange murders. Obviously, Let the Right One In is in good hands.
A&E has landed this series after winning a bidding war against Showtime.
