The peacock network has found ratings success with the dark Grimm series on Friday nights. Is there room for another spooky thriller or will Dracula be cancelled quickly like so many other series? Stay tuned!
NBC’s Dracula is a retelling of the classic Bram Stoker story. In London, Dracula (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is posing as an American entrepreneur while he seeks revenge on those who cursed him. He doesn’t count on falling in love with a woman (Jessica De Gouw) who looks just like his deceased wife. Others in the cast include Thomas Kretschmann, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Victoria Smurfit, Katie McGrath, and Nonso Anozie.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/10 update: NBC has cancelled Dracula after one season and 10 episodes.
Final season averages: 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.25 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Dracula TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for second season?
I think this is the best new series! It’s much better than the other vampire shows, I hope they will renew it.
Oh please please don’t cancel this show – I just love it and cant wait to see each episode
I am a big fan keep it going
Do not cancel this show. It is different from all the other vampire shows. Its more mature in a certain way and you really love and hate Dracula. Jonathan Rhys Meyers portrays him perfectly. Great show
Fabulous show. Please do not cancel; it’s almost like “Dark Shadows” from the 1960’s only now with a sexier vampire set on revenge against an evil empire , a great story line , plus now it’s in color! Lol! The writers of this new Dracula are geniuses & Meyers is excellent, as all of the other actors. Please NBC don’t let this hit show slip through your hands.
I agree- like Dark Shadows, but better.
However, almost every single article I have read about it calls it a mini-series. That doesn’t mean it can’t go on. Spartacus lasted longer as does Boardwalk Empire. It doesn’t have to end after just so many episodes.
