It seems that stakes and network executives can take a vampire down. NBC has cancelled the Dracula TV show after one season of 10 episodes.
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 show’s debut did respecatably for a Friday night show but dropped much lower in subsequent weeks. The first season averaged a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.25 million total viewers.
Hannibal and Dracula are both produced under a unique deal that costs the network much less than other original drama series. Hannibal’s license fee is set to go down for season three so the network ultimately decided to renew that show and cancel Dracula.
It seems like Dracula’s studios could still potentially produce a second season for another outlet but there hasn’t been any news of that thus far.
What do you think? Do you think Dracula should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Would you follow the series to another channel or pay to see a second season?
Renew please. I love this serie.
I would very much enjoy seeing more of Dracula. Why cancel an excellent show like this yet continue inane reality shows?
I haven’t stopped thinking about the show since it was cancelled. Please bring it back!!
renew it it is an awesome show NBC can’t just leave us with so many unanswered questions I think it would be awesome to see how the show could turnout.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is gorgeous and is fantastic as Dracula. I would love to see the show back again for another season. The story is an interesting version on the original. It is really acted and well made. I enjoy the mix of modern ideas such as the “wireless electricity” with the victorian history and background. It gives the show a great vibe.
I want the show back on they left us hanging with how it ended! I want it back on tv asap! Is there sum place that I couldg o sign to get it back on tv?!!!!
I absolutely want this show to have 2 or even 10 seasons of possible. I really love watching this series. I would pay to watch it in any channel or the internet if I have to. They can release it on DVD and I’d buy it because I have always loved the true story of Dracula and this one captures what the movies could not and that’s the step by step real life story of Dracula. Please save this series
I vote to see season 2 and more others. I’m drawn to the drama and the suspense. When I watch Dracula I’m clued to my screen and can’t miss an episode or I go crazy enough to find the episode I’ve missed. I just love the history behind everything that is set behind it.

I really like this show and wish that it would have a second season. It wouldn’t make a difference what station it was on. I would watch it on any channel!
I loved this show! Gutted that it got cancelled after 1st series
I’m re-watching it atm and still hoping that another network will pick it up for further series and development of the story and characters -Netflix would be a great platform for this show…
Evil vs. Evil exquisitely done. Great show wrong channel. I never I even heard of this show until I went to watch Grimm online. I am a new fan just seeing it 2 years after it broadcasted on NBC. Hope they make a Season 2. This would be great on Netflix, FX, or Fox.
I hate that the show was cancelled!!
Yes I very much would follow the show to another channel I loved this show and miss it
Dracula was so exquisitely done and I am so disappointed to see it wasn’t renewed for a 2nd season! Mr. Myers makes this Dracula so believable, what a fabulous actor he is. NBC should take some of the other crap they put on the air off and bring this winner back for a second season with some good promo about it. Wake up you morons not everything is about reality TV some of us have an actual brain in our heads! The peanut gallery!
