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.

What do you think? Do you like the Dracula TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for second season?
I didn’t watch Dracula on the broadcast – I think the broadcast #s may not be the best judge of the show’s success. I watched online (with Hulu Plus) and LOVED it! I would really love to see season 2. PLEASE save Renfield! He was one of the COOLEST characters. I hope NBC chooses to renew Dracula, if not on broadcast- perhaps as an on Demand or Web only show. It was AWESOME 🙂
Please bring out the next season, it was simply amazing! Second the notion to bringing Renfield back, too, and that it’s absolutely for an audience not of teenage viewers which makes it even more interesting.
Bring it back I loved Dracula and found the cast to be pretty solid. Dracula does exhibit powers but not the typical powers you would expect. Hopefully he can exhibit more next season if there is one. I really hope it comes back. JRM Is excellent btw. Renfield was one of the best characters. I was sad to see him die.
I agree great show!! Something to look forward to all week. Love JRM !! and please save Renfield!!
A lot of good comments here. If you’d like a genre fans take on the show check out my podcast. Libertystreetgeek dot net.
Sadly, inthink the show will be cancelled. The quality ramped up after a messy beginning.
I LOVED DRACULA! It was suspend full and thrilling, with incredible twists to the story. I think JRM makes the perfect Dracula and the chemistry between him and Mina is incredibly exciting! I can’t wait to see how their relationship will develop, especially after she learns what he is and how her scientific brain deals with it! Please make a season 2, it would be a crime not to!!!
Please renew dracula. Nbc should listen to the fans of the show and give the show a chance
Please renew dracula for another season the show is one of a kind. U get tired of watching cops shows and stuff like csi. U have great actors and great story lines and its a beautifu love story. I cant wait to see what happens next. Please renew. Theres alot of dracula fans Y
Love Dracula. The show kept getting better and the season finale was AWESOME! Please renew for a second season!
LOVE this show! Please don’t cancel it. I love JRM as Dracula. I love the pace and the re-imagining of this classic story. I am a mid forties woman who loves this show!!!
Bring Dracula back! It was the one NBC show I was really rubbing my hands for all week, every week!
Honestly, sorry, I can’t say I really knew or had heard of J.R.M., or any of the other cast members, prior to watching. (Although I agree with other comments here that he really makes an great Vlad and I love that he and the writers have focused on the more human/fragile side of that character; which I think actually makes him stronger but…). Anyway, I usually get bored with these sort of shows and move on, but for some reason I have been very pleasantly surprised and seduced; So I must say PLEASE DO RENEW! (BTW I am so gonna… Read more »
Love the new spin on Dracula, great job on the show. Season 2.. GO!!
I LOVE Dracula! Don’t cancel it!!! It is NOT boring, it’s brilliant. It’s an incredibly cool new spin on the story; I love the style and pacing of the storytelling; I love the characters and their relationships; it’s a great show! Don’t cancel! Please!
Please, please, please don’t cancel it. I loved this show. It was a great retelling of the story. And JRM is wonderfully and deliciously sexy as Dracula. Yes, he’s a vampire for grown women, not teenyboppers. But please bring back Renfield somehow. What a great and loyal friend.
