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?

I love the series. The network made a mistake dropping it.
Second time watching this series & I LOVE it!!! Can’t believe it was cancelled and left us all hanging! Please reboot it 🙁
Please bring a Season 2, I’ve just finished watching Season 1, fantastic play on the original, thoroughly enjoyed it!
This show actually had a story line bring it back!
Just bring the show back! It’s ridiculous! I’ve just found it, in 2021, it’s a gem, not promoted properly!
I’ve seen quality Dracula movies and have hoped that a series od that caliper would come to TV. It finally did, only to be cancelled after one season. Quality horror/drama series are fairly rare and this series is the only Dracula one that I know of. I would love to see it return.
Please bring it back he is the sexiest Dracula ever!
