Plot

Van Helsing is set in a post-apocalyptic near future. Vanessa Van Helsing, a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, awakens from a coma after her supposed death to find herself in a post-apocalyptic world, three years after an eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera had blanketed the world in ash, blocking out sunlight and allowing vampires to overrun humanity. She is humanity's last hope, as her unique blood composition gives her the ability to turn vampires back into humans. With this secret weapon, Vanessa becomes a prime target for the vampires. She is protected by a Marine ordered to keep her safe, and the doctor who saved her, so she can lead a resistance against the vampires that plague the world's survivors. ^[7]

In the second season, Vanessa journeys east towards the safe haven of Denver, Colorado and discovers her long-lost sister Scarlett, who has been trained to kill vampires since birth. In the third season, Vanessa and Scarlett hunt the Elders, the original vampires, in order to defeat them for good. Following Vanessa's apparent death in the fourth season, the series switches focus to her long-lost biological daughters Violet and Jack as they face a new "daywalker" breed of vampires as well as the "Dark One" and ruler of the vampire species, Countess Olivia von Dracula and her brides, a former countess of Transylvania and de facto President of the United States.

Cast and characters

Main

• Kelly Overton as Vanessa Van Helsing ^{[a] [8]} (formerly Vanessa Stewart), humanity's last hope to lead an offensive to take back what has been lost in a post-Rising world, as her unique blood composition gives her the ability to turn vampires back into humans.
• Jonathan Scarfe as Axel Miller, a former Marine with unwavering devotion and loyalty to both duty and Vanessa, despite years of isolation. He is later turned whilst saving the other survivors but thanks to Vanessa's abilities, he later becomes human once again.

• Christopher Heyerdahl as Samuel "Sam" (seasons 1–4), a deaf survivor of the Rising who relies on his strength and observational skills to stay hidden. Sam turns out to be the serial killer haunting the survivors. He likes to strangle his victims and cut off the right index finger, collecting them like the Indian mythological character Angulimāla (meaning "finger necklace"). After his secret was uncovered by Mohamad, he explains to Vanessa that he had always been a killer. Vanessa cuts his tendons and leaves him to die but a feral vampire turns him. He soon becomes a sociopathic vampire, hunting Vanessa for revenge. He is later transformed into the Fourth vampire elder and soon meets his death at the hands of Dracula upon her emergence.

Talking with Axel, however, helps her realize that she in fact subconsciously created this place as a means of escaping the Dark Realm through the door, and that the figure guarding it is a manifestation of her own inner darkness.

The suspicious bikers, who are actually Aaron's bodyguards, confront Violet and Axel, but fail to stop Violet from biting Davis, returning his humanity. Aaron wants his father to use the Nuclear football to contact help in the Pentagon to both fight Dracula and to find Aaron's mother and sister, who disappeared in the Rising; however, emotionally broken, Davis tells his son that he got word of their deaths just before being turned. Refusing to believe this, Aaron runs off accompanied by Violet to track his family using a GPS tracker from the football. While the adults are tracking the pair, Hopper is killed protecting Davis from a vampire; when he and Axel find Aaron and Violet at the crash site of their family's motorcade, overlooking their bodies, he declares his renewed intent to fight back.

Finding a message from Vanessa, they are then contacted by a local resistance group that has been organized to oppose Dracula, including Sergeant Weathers from Fort Collins and a Roma descended from Bathory's clan, who recognizes Jack from the story of her exploits in the past. Meanwhile, Vanessa, still disguised as Nina, arrives at the White House just as Dracula executes all the vampire brood leaders as a show of force, and claims that she's killed Violet to win Dracula's favor. Later meeting with Jack, Vanessa prepares a trap by telling Dracula and Bathory where the resistance is hiding, only for Dracula to keep her at the White House while sending Bathory to attack the hideout sooner than expected. Aided by vampire special forces operatives, Bathory attacks and nearly claims the amulet from Jack before Vanessa remotely takes control of the other vampires and makes them attack Bathory; this gives Jack the opening to bite Bathory, making her human again but leaving her blind and seemingly psychotic. Sensing this, Dracula realizes Vanessa's deception and attacks her, with Vanessa retaliating by biting her.
64	12	"The Voices"	Alexandra La Roche	Jackie May	June 18, 2021 (2021-06-18)	0.24 [80]
Vanessa's bite fails to turn Dracula human again, but weakens her enough for her human host, Olivia, to fight her for control, which gives Vanessa an opportunity to escape. Reuniting with Violet and Axel, they join Jack with the resistance and learn that Bathory is still unstable. Axel goes with soldiers to rescue to the Vice-President, who has been detained by Dracula's vampires; while he's initially skeptical of their claims about Dracula impersonating the President, they eventually convince him and he arranges to have the White House secretly emptied of human personnel in order to clear a path to Dracula. Meanwhile, Vanessa drains the darkness from Bathory, restoring her sight and sanity, and allowing Jack to convince her to help use the scrolls to seal Dracula. However, Dracula regains control of herself and remotely takes control of Bathory to make her attack Jack and steal the amulet from her, opening it and freeing Dracula's stolen essence; horrified by this, Bathory jumps off a rooftop to avoid falling under Dracula's control again. At the White House, Dracula is restored to her full power and begins bringing about a permanent night.
65	13	"Novissima Solis"	Michael Nankin	Jonathan Lloyd Walker	June 25, 2021 (2021-06-25)	0.15 [81]
Vanessa uses the Dark One's mark on Bathory's body to connect with Dracula's mind, making contact with Olivia. Afterwards, she reveals that she pulled the knowledge of how to read the scrolls from Bathory's mind, meaning that the heroes' plan could still work. While the resistance stays behind to protect President Park and Aaron, the Van Helsings, Axel and Ivory heads to the White House; however, Dracula senses them coming and unleashes an energy that turns every human in the area (excluding the Van Helsings and cured vampires) into vampires. Axel and Ivory rush back to protect the Parks, while the Van Helsings storm the White House, fighting their way through the vampiric Delta Force soldiers protecting it. Confronting Dracula in the Oval Office, she initially overpowers them, until Olivia starts fighting her for control of her body. This gives Vanessa time to paralyze Dracula with the scrolls and allow Jack and Violet to bite her, forcing the Dark One's essence out; with the amulet destroyed during the fighting, Vanessa sacrifices herself to trap the Dark One in her own body, putting herself in a death-like coma. With the Dark One sealed away, daylight returns and the vampires all become human again, with President Park being reinstated in order to begin rebuilding society. While Jack and Violet help the freed Olivia adapt to modern life, Axel stands guard over Vanessa's body, and in her mind Vanessa is reunited with the spirits of Susan and Dylan.
