Last month, with more than seven months until The Strain premieres on FX, the network released a bizarre trailer, although it didn't contain any actually footage from the show. Today, we have the first two photos from this adaptation of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's novel series, featuring Corey Stoll as Dr. Ephraim Goodweather. Fans who are familiar with the actor from Law & Order: Los Angeles or House of Cards may not recognize him right away, since he isn't sporting his traditional bald look, although he did have a full head of hair in 2011's Midnight in Paris. The show, debuting on FX in July, follows Goodweather, who leads a Center for Disease Control Canary Team investigating a strange viral outbreak in New York City, which has the same traits as an ancient strain of vampirism.

The Strain is a high concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll), 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.

The ensemble cast stars Corey Stoll, Mía Maestro, Sean Astin, Kevin Durand, Natalie Brown, Jonathan Hyde, Richard Sammel, Robert Maillet, Jack Kesy, Ben Hyland, Miguel Gomez and David Bradley.
