“We are so proud of Van Helsing and would like to thank Syfy and the amazing fans who embraced this series. We are excited to end the show on its own terms and to give our story, these characters, and our fans the conclusion they so richly deserve,” Daniel March, a managing partner for the show on behalf of Dynamic Television, notably stated after the show’s renewal announcement.
Van Helsing Season 5 Release Date
A 2020 release was always in the cards for Van Helsing season 5, and production delays related to the coronavirus outbreak haven’t changed that expectation. Executive producer Chad Oakes speculated during the show’s Comic-Con@Home panel that the series would “return late fall, early winter – November, December and back on the air for season five.” We’ll update this article once the exact date is known.
Van Helsing Season 5 Cast
Van Helsing season 5 will include new cast members Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy), Ali Liebert (Bomb Girls), and Steve Bacic (Andromeda). Coates will play Olivia’s husband, Count Dalibor, who makes some disastrous choices despite having the best of intentions. Liebert will take on the role of Nina, a vampire with a colorful past involving Julius and a hidden, deadly agenda. Bacic will portray the Father, a wild vampire who dresses in animal skins and has been hiding in an abandoned mine with a child. Lead actress Kelly Overton was notably in the background during Van Helsing season 4 due to being pregnant during filming, but this allowed other characters to step to the forefront, including Nicole Muñoz as Jack and Keeya King as Violet, both of whom had their own ties to the Van Helsing legacy. However, fans can expect to see Vanessa in full form in season 5 while still allowing for the new characters to maintain their full strength. Male lead Jonathan Scarfe will not only return as Axel to help bring about an end to the vampire apocalypse; he’ll also return to the director’s chair for four episodes in Van Helsing season 5.
