About

You can stream The Strain (2014) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

A high concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers, wage war for the fate of humanity itself.

Dr. Ephraim Goodweather fights a losing battle to contain a biological nightmare that blurs the line between virus and ancient curse. This visceral reimagining of vampire lore trades romantic capes for parasitic worms and terrifying physical transformations.
