Dracula is rising from the grave once again this New Year’s Day, thanks to a new BBC/Netflix co-production. The TV series is the first collaboration from show runners Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss since Sherlock wrapped in 2017 and once more, the pair are bringing a Victorian fictional icon back to life. And you’ll be able to witness the Count’s comeback at the beginning of next month.
Dracula will premiere on BBC One on January 1st, with the subsequent two episodes airing the following two nights. Netflix revealed though that the entire first season will be ready to watch on their platform from the day after it completes its run on the BBC, January 4th.
As per the format Sherlock laid out, Dracula will consist of three 90-minute episodes. It’s set to be a more faithful adaptation of the source material than the detective drama was, too, as the show will retain the period setting of Bram Stoker’s novel.
However, this version is that Dracula is very much the hero of his own story, so he’ll be our POV character and not the human heroes, Jonathan and Mina Harker and their friends.
