New “Dracula” Series Stakes Its Vampire

Steven Moffet and Mark Gatiss are teaming up once again for a new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. You may be wondering who will be playing the lead role. That would be Girl in the Spider’s Web (review) actor Claes Bang. Set in Victorian-era London, the miniseries will also star Gatiss, Dolly Wells, Luiza Richter, and John Heffernan. This is not the first “Dracula” series we’ve seen. The first premiered back in 2013 but was short lived. With Moffet and Gatiss having a long track record of successful series, having worked together on both “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock”, odds are we’ll be in for a good show this time around.

Hello again my Little Monsters, as you may have read in the title, it appears that a new Dracula series is in the works from the folks at the BBC (that’s The British Broadcasting Corporation to you and me, Rusty). After their monumentally successful modernization of the tales of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary sleuth in the television series Sherlock, the writers and producers of the popular series are focusing their gaze on a new incarnation of Bram Stoker’s equally legendary “Prince of Darkness”.
