What’s This TV Show About?
A co-production of BBC One and the Netflix subscription service, this horror TV series is based on Bram Stoker’s classic novel. The Dracula show stars Claes Bang, Dolly Wells, John Heffernan, Morfydd Clark, Joanna Scanlan, Jonathan Aris, Sacha Dhawan, Clive Russell, Matthew Beard, Lydia West, and Mark Gatiss. It follows the deadly Count Dracula (Bang), from his origins in Eastern Europe to his battles with Van Helsing’s descendant, Doctor Zoe Van Helsing (Wells), and beyond. The story begins in 1897 as English lawyer Jonathan Harker (Heffernan) travels to Transylvania to meet a new client — and a legend is about to get fresh blood.
Dracula seems to have come to a natural conclusion so it’s unlikely to be renewed for a second season (see below). Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Netflix and BBC One cancel or renew Dracula for season two? In press materials, Dracula has been referred to as a mini-series. Considering how the first season concluded, it would seem that there’s no need or room for a continuation. However, series creator Mark Gatiss has hinted that the infamous bloodsucker’s story could continue. How? The audience didn’t actually see certain characters die so, perhaps they survived somehow. A prequel series of some kind is also a possibility. While those options seem unlikely, there is room for some hope. Vampires are certainly no strangers to resurrection.
