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 love love love this show! I will be one very unhappy person if its cancelled.
Please renew Dracula for another season!!!!! It is a extraordinary show!! We look so forward to watching it on Friday nights. We also love Jonathon Rhys Meyers…… ever since the Tudors. You don’t even have to be vampire fanatic to love this show. We love the setting and time period as well and there will be some long faces up here in Canada if Dracula is cancelled!! 🙁 🙁
When I heard about Grimm, I was really excited to watch the new series because it was different. It was not your typical cop show which there are so many out there along with your reality shows, soap operas. Simply, typical shows we keep channeling all the time whether we are watching them or not. The first Grimm episode was pretty cool and I was expecting the show to be similar to Buffy the Vampire Slayer ( well-written stories with a lot of kick ass actions scenes from your bad ass hero and his or her loyal sidekick friends and… Read more »
It’s not a British series; it’s an American show though it takes place in London.
Actually it is a British show… or more accurately it’s a joint venture between NBC Studios and a British Company. It’s filmed in England.
In response to … who was I responding to…LOL…there is no name next to her comment…the post stated it was a “provocative British series.”
So no, it’s not a “British show.” The creator is American…it’s an NBC show which is being produced by a British company for Britain. As far as I understand it is not filmed in England…it’s filmed in Budapest.

I think that Dracula needs a plan: Finish the season, put it on Netflix (which commands 2/3 of all Internet bandwidth) as well as Amazon (free of charge), and shamelessly promote it just before fall. By then, viewers have caught up on the shows they already love and are hungry for something new. Binge watchers will become enthralled, no doubt, and tune in next season. The characters are rich and dynamic, a trait rarely seen on TV today; it takes more than one episode to understand the subtle nuances of their actions. Normally, characters are transparent and all challenges are… Read more »
The show has to stay running! My sister and me love it.
My sister and I love it.
Say theses sentences out loud if you aren’t sure. English is not that hard…..
Loving the show, the scenes, acting… It can offer so much more to the public if given opportunity… It just can’t be canceled :/
Dracula is an awesome show. Please do not cancel it. The new spin on the Dracula story is the best since Stoker’s original.
doesn’t look good, folks. 🙁
Addicted to the show! Don’t Cancel!
If they will cancel despite all of our good remarks, then why have a panel?? I find that counter productive and plain stupid.
Love the show! Don’t cancel!
Dracula is certainly one of the best shows on network Tv. Please lets keep it on.
we who don”t get the premium channels for such period hits as boardwalk empire and game of Thrones have a chance to see the great period sets and clothes and moralities of the 19th century. This is a hit, especially among vampire fans I.E> (vampire diaries, the Originals etc.) but ALSo among Jonathan rhys Meyers fans. he is excellent in whatever he does and though people think he is short in stature he is long on his sexuality. steaming up the screen with his love scenes. you think he isn’t savage enough as Dracula? Then you haven’t watched episode 107.… Read more »
fantastic show in great jeopardy of cancellation! please consider moving it to another night to gather ratings boost. if all else fails…cable…one of you…pick it up!
Dracula is well done. NBC should give it a chance because as with any plot the suspense grows with each episode. Every episode becomes more chilling. Love it.
Don’t Cancel. Great show.
