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?
Ugh I always get my fav shows cancelled
Plz I will follow where ever they take Dracula
I’m such. A Jonathan Reis Meyer fan
Not to mention a Dracula fan as well
This show needs to be renewed. The story is not over. It’s a damn shame leaving the viewer out in the dark. Other networks should pick up the show for the second season
Damn. I watched the tv show on my first year in college now im almost graduating and I’m still hoping and wishing my ass out for it to be renewed hopefully by another network cause NBC got bad tate of tv shows. It’s been 4 years but Dracula got under my skin bruuuhhh. like bring it back. total cliff hanger.

It should have defiantly been renewed, I loved this show and was so upset when it was cancelled…Im good at telling what shows are great and ones that aren’t very good but Dracula was one of the good ones.
Should be renewed was a awesome tv-show. Would love to see more of it. Cliff-hanger much? There is so much they could have added. It could have made a couple more seasons.
