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?
Please renew the show at least for another season, the time period is perfect and Dracula is great! I got bought the first season it was that good!
Please renew it for season 2 omg it my favorite show it was the best Dracula TV show ever
I’ve just watched the show. Very very underrated! I so loved it and I know lotta other friends, even my mom too. I wouldn’t mind seeing couple seasons more. Rooting for Dracula this time. Geeezzzz, bring the show back!!!!!! Team AG!
Renew the show! Classic are great! It’s perfect for the new generation, reboot it! Season 2
I thought Dracula was a great show I truly think they should bring it back its different and I like the time period. I loved all the characters and actors in it ,I think our television stations cancel too many good shows and keep the crappy ones not all but a lot BRING Dracula back!!!!
This show is actually very good and acting is very good. I’ve enjoyed this take on Dracula. Hate that NBC ended it but I understand why. I actually didn’t watch till recently…
They should have made a season two or at least one more episode for a better ending with no cliff hangers. They should have kept going.
It’s a shame NBC cancelled this, but not surprising. Different isn’t in NBC’s wheelhouse! It’s also too bad another network didn’t pick it up!!
I still miss this show and wrote at the time it shouldn’t have been cancelled. Quality acting
I love Johnathan Rhyse Myers and I have not felt the need to watch ANY NBC shows since Dracula’s cancellation. You do the math
Best Dracula series show on TV, Jonathan Rhys Meyers was brilliant in it. Please continue and produce season 2.
This was a great and entertaining show.Please continue further seasons.
You must continue the tv series DRACULA because are waiting for the second season. FILIPINO loves to watch dracula so we requested to bring back the dracula. Thank you
this was a really good series, I hope that the can bring it
Very upset that the show was cancelled! I would continue to watch if it returned
