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 absolutely LOVE Dracula!!! Please DON’T cancel!! I’m definitely anticipating a season 2!
Dracula needs to be renewed for a second season!!!!!
Love the show hope it’s not cancelled
This has been an excellent adaptation of Bram Stokers Draacula and it would be a trajedy to cancel the series. As a vampire lore enthusiast I sit in awe of what NBC has been able to accomplish considering the needed editing due to its public TV slot. Would Dracula have done better on a cable channel? Absolutely! But NBC took the chance, just like they did with NYPD Blue! Need I say more? Point made. NBC- take a chance for a second season of Dracula. The story has just begun…there is still so much to tell.
Pleaseee its a really great showw dont Cancel IT PLEASEEE I WANT TO SEE MORE JOHANATHAN MEYERS AS DRACULA its a really great show why whould you cancel it please dont !
