11 Reasons To Be Excited About Midnight, Texas

Charlaine Harris is a New York Best Selling Author. Her Sookie Stackhouse Series had also been turned into the successful True Blood TV series which aired 2008-2014 on HBO. Hopefully, this one will prove to be just as successful.

François (Blindspot and Borgias) has been nominated for a Canadian Screen Award (the Canadian equivalent to the Emmys) for his role in Borgias. He will be playing Manfred Bernardo. His character is a mystery,and he's new in town. He will be adding some smolder to the show for sure.

Dylan may have one of those familiar faces that you just can't place. He was on As The World Turns, Arrow, and Orphan Black. He will be playing Bobo Winthrop, which from the poster looks as though he can see ghosts, and possibly communicate with them.

Parisa has had many walk on roles, but her most well known role to date has been on Netflix's Jessica Jones. In Midnight, Texas, she plays Fiji Cavanaugh, who may possibly be a witch.

The very gorgeous Arielle has had many TV and film roles through the last 13 years. She has been in Gilmore Girls, 90210, John Tucker Must Die, Vampire Diaries, Ballers, and even a short role in True Blood. There isn't much we can glean about her character, Olivia, from the released pics. It will be interesting to see what her character will be like.

If you ever saw him in Sex and the City you could never forget this hunk. He also appeared in Charmed, Brothers and Sisters, and more recently the two Lifetime movies, If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday. Jason will be playing Joe Strong, who appears to be a different interpretation of an angel. With or without wings, we will be thrilled to see him in this series.

Lemuel Bridger will be played by the striking Peter Mensah. Peter has been in the Spartacus TV Series, The 300 movies, True Blood, and Sleepy Hollow. He is obviously playing a vampire, but will this vampire be similar to the one he played on True Blood?

For those who watched Parenthood, you know how great of an actress Sarah is. She has also been in American Dreams and Runaway. She will be playing Creek. It is hard to tell what ability she may have. I believe it has something to do with the forces of the elements. That is my guess. What is yours? Regardless, her addition will round out this cast nicely.

The series will be directed by Niels. He has directed the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the pilots for Under the Dome and Mr. Robot, and he is also currently working on a Flatliners remake. His talent will be sure to add to the quality of the already impressive cast and story line.

Monica has been writing and producing on some pretty amazing shows - Charmed, Alias, Lost, Brothers & Sisters, Fringe, Revolution, and Agents of Shield. With these impressive credentials, and Charlaine Harris' book as inspiration, we can look forward to some incredible viewing.

This show looks to be action packed and surprising. What other secrets does the town hold? How about the residents themselves? What secrets do they have, and what about the characters do we have yet to figure out? I don't know about you but I can't wait to find out more.
