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.

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 this show. Jonathan is amazing in it. His acting is so believable. With all the crap on tv now;reality and cop shows, can we please keep something on that has incredible acting and an interesting story line. It would be a shame to see it cancelled.

I think this is the best new show in the past 5yrs., It would be a terrible mistake to cancel

Please renew! I LOVE this series! How refreshing to see the direction this version takes. It is very subtle and only now are all sorts of things are becoming clear. We need another season! PLEASE!
