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?
DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!! This is one of the most engaging and exciting shows on TV right now. I look forward to Friday nights because of this. The new take on the story has breathed a new life into a story that has been retold with no flair for a long time. The finely crafted production, the lush settings, the bold and exciting writing that shapes the characters and storyline are all brilliant and the cast of actors are of the highest caliber. JMR is an amazing, deep, dark, heart aching and brilliant Dracula , I love the angle… Read more »
Alot of people watch online and not just on tv so if they just go by people watching on tv then they are missing many people that love the show!!
I really look forward to this series and I’ve got several coworkers watching as well. Please don’t cancel!
Nooooo! That can’t cancel it. This is the ONE. Show I’ll watch live and not DVR!!! If the cancel I’ll be one ticked of chic!
Dracula is a delicious wine! Every Friday I look forward to savoring it’s rich textures, dark layers, and deep scents. The production value is amazing to say the least, and the acting is without question, top of the game. The writing is very well done and the conceptualization is film quality. Please do not cancel this diamond in the rough that is the television wasteland. With close to 1000 channels and access to movies abound, I ALWAYS make time on my Friday evening to watch Dracula. The problem is that TV producers are looking for instant gratification, and when a… Read more »
I only watch grimm so I do not miss Dracula. Do not cancel Dracula. Without Dracula my family would not watch nbc
They can’t cancel it!! I love it!! I didn’t get it at first until I gave it a chance! It was even nominated for best new drama for people’s choice, and the winner was reign (and even that show started off with low ratings or reviews, slated to be cancelled) they have to give it a chance!
back again! You haven’t given this show a chance yet! Just finished watching episode 108, and was disappointed that more was not revealed about ilonas and vlads past! I simply CAN’T wait for Fridays to see what is revealed next. Each episode is wrapped in an enigma as we realize Dracula has everyone doing his bidding, even tho they don’t know it! Yet, what is Van helsing up to? Why is renfield the only one Dracula trusts? What happened to the tryptich now that Lord davenport is dead? C’mon NBC don’t leave us all “in the dark”! Renew! Renew!
Afterall, he did save Renfield’s life and so Renfield is loyal to him. He has known his secret since the beginning. Now, I wonder how many years have passed since that incident- just curious.
Carol
that fiance (Jon) is dumb as dirt too- now he’s in for it
The show has really grown on me w ould like g see the love story unfold
Awesome show
I love this show!!!!!!!!! Please renew it. Jonathon Rhys Meyers is an amazing Dracula!!! I watch it every Friday and haven’t missed one night!!
It is the only show I watch and if I was to miss it I watch online. Do not have cable and I believe there is a big part of the viewers numbers being missed in the count. The settings are gorgeous the plot is suspensful and the actors arr fabulous. The show should be in the 9pm est slot and it is the only show worth watching. How broke girls can stay on is beyond me there is no comparison. Johnathan please keep up the awesome work you are so talented.
DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!
Dracula is fantastic! I love the show and NEVER miss it. I love the story, the science, and how the characters are growing with every episode. Please keep this show on. Please renew! This is THE BEST show that there is on at 10 o’clock!
DO NOT CANCEL PLEASE!!!! I was having withdrawal symptoms when it took a break over the Christmas period. It is Brilliant! So dark and moody, great acting from all involved, excellent story-lines. Johnathan Rhys Meyer is fantastic, so what if he likes a wee drink, he is Irish after all and we all love our drink!!! Americans are so uptight about drinking….life is too short and I really don’t think the show should be cancelled, its far too good.
Tina…A lot of us “Americans” love the show and we too would be beyond disappointed if the show was canceled. Unfortunately, it looks like it might be because the ratings aren’t high enough. But please don’t bring Jonathan’s drinking or any other problems into the conversation…It’s all about the show. Rhy Myers is fantastic…drop the ‘us” vs. “them” thing please.
Hi Anonymous (strange name 😉 Wasn’t dissing Johnathan at all or Americans for that matter, I think he is amazing and the american people. Johnathan was made for this role, no-one else could play it like him. I just saw a lot of negative press over here in the last few months, which seriously annoyed me, I was therefore making the point that this should not be used in a negative way. I just thought the producers may have used this along with the ratings to try and cancel the show, which would be a complete travesty in my opinion.… Read more »
It would be a travesty to cancel this jewel of a series. There’s plenty of life left in it and character development.
Totally agree, some programmes don’t get a chance to grow these days, let it run.
dracula is brilliant- i love the science/tesla angle and the illuminati/order of the dragon getting their just desserts thanks to villain turned hero dracula. this show, reign on the cw and a dance of dragons/ a game of thrones on hbo are the best shows on right now imho
