Demons Are Coming From BBC America

They really are. The short-lived BBC series is making its way Stateside thanks to BBC America, and the show is sure to please fans who dig the Buffy the Vampire Slayer formula.

From BBC America's press release:

The battle against the dark underworld of half-lives, monsters and in-humans lie deep beneath the streets of modern-day London in the U.S. premiere of Demons. This contemporary spin on the character of Van Helsing features Luke Rutherford (Christian Cooke) as an average teenager, but with the arrival of his dead father's best friend Rupert Galvin (Philip Glenister), Luke's life is about to be flipped upside down. Galvin is a straight-talking, headstrong American who has come to tell Luke his secret destiny - he's the real-life great-great grandson of Abraham Van Helsing, the vampire hunter in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Luke's destined to inherit the family mantle as a warrior in the coldest of cold wars against the supernatural entities behind every myth and legend from vampires to werewolves and all things that go bump in the night.

I've heard good things about this one and am looking forward to checking it out for myself when it premieres on January 2nd at 10pm.
