Showtime is giving one of the most acclaimed vampire movies in recent years a TV update. Let the Right One In, which is inspired by the book and film of the same name, focuses on Mark (Demián Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor (Madison Taylor Baez). Ten years ago, their lives were upended when she was turned into a vampire. Eleanor is trapped at age 12, possibly forever. She lives a cloistered life, only venturing out at night, while Mark does his best to provide her with the human blood she needs to stay alive.   

Showtime promises that Let the Right One In “will upend genre expectations, turning a naturalistic lens on human frailty, strength and compassion.” Judge for yourself when it premieres on Friday, October 7. 

‘The Lincoln Project’ looks at the Republicans who wanted to stop Trump  

Also premiering on October 7 is The Lincoln Project. This five-part docuseries looks at the members of The Lincoln Project, a political action committee formed in late 2019 by Republicans who wanted to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump. The series, which Showtime describes as “an unvarnished look at how power and money shape American politics today,” follows the group from the 2020 election through January 6 and Biden’s inauguration as they fight to control the pro-Trump forces within the GOP. 

The ‘American Gigolo’ season finale airs October 28
