Van Helsing Exclusive: Aleks Paunovic Talks Social Media Impact & Working With Series’ Creators
“From what I understand, the viewership has been growing and growing!”
Aleks Paunovic of Syfy’s Van Helsing attributes the show’s early success largely to social media’s influence over audiences.
OMFGTV recently spoke with Paunovic about how social media has affected the rapid growth in viewership for the vampire thriller.
According to Aleks, the whole cast has been very excited to share the show that they are so proud of with the rest of the world– and through social media they are able to.
“We’re so proud of the show that we just want to talk about it!” he tells us. Paunovic even went as far as saying that Van Helsing fans are, “the most generous and gracious fans that I’ve ever encountered early on in a show.” So good job Helsingers, your hard work on social media is being noticed!
Paunovic was also eager to discuss his experience working with executive producers Simon Barry and Neil LaBute. Both producers allowed Aleks to be very hands-on in the process of creating his character, Julius.
Paunovic received feedback on set from both producers that helped him mold Julius into the character we see in the show. “I got to create an actual, huge part of the show. . . it’s been great having that support from the creators of the show.”
Be sure to catch Aleks act out the character he helped create in Van Helsing on Syfy Fridays at 10pm!
