Dracula is returning to the TV screens in what might be the best adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 19th century horror novel with Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat (Sherlock) at the helm. A terrifying, gore-filled teaser trailer of the BBC and Netflix co-production has just dropped, and already people are excited about the titular Count, who will be played by Danish actor Claes Bang.
The terrifying first trailer for the BBC and Netflix adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula has been released.
The co-production, written by Sherlock creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, will star Claes Bang in the lead role as the eponymous evil vampire.
The Danish actor, 52, is joined in the cast by John Heffernan, 38, Dolly Wells, 47 and Joanna Scanlan, 58, all of whom will play as yet unknown roles.
The mini-series was announced last year, and the BBC said at the time it would ‘reintroduce the world to Dracula, the vampire who made evil sexy’. New series kicks off in Transylvania in 1897, where the Count is planning to come to Victorian London to find new victims.
The three-part production, which will be aired in 90-minute episodes, finished filming in August.
