More on 'Van Helsing'

Debuting on September 23, 2016 and set in a post-apocalyptic future, Van Helsing stars Kelly Overton as Vanessa Van Helsing, the great-great-great-granddaughter of Abraham Van Helsing, the legendary vampire hunter of Bram Stoker's Dracula fame. Overton's character is tasked with leading surviving humans against vampires who have conquered the world.

"Vanessa is the last hope for survival, as she unknowingly awakens to discover she possesses unique power over them: that she has a unique blood composition that makes her not only immune to vampires, but with the ability to turn a vampire human," reads a synopsis of the series. "With this secret weapon, Vanessa becomes a prime target for the vampires, while trying to save humanity."

Jonathan Scarfe, who stars as ex-Marine Axel Miller, a loyal constituent of Van Helsing's, won an award for Best Lead Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series at the 2017 Leo Awards for his work in the series pilot.

Other stars include Christopher Heyerdahl, David Cubitt, Vincent Gale and Rukiya Bernard.

While the show has earned something of a cult following for being an entertaining "bad" watch, the first season of Van Helsing garnered an 82% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
