Season 1

Dracula is a British-American horror drama television series created by Cole Haddon as a reimagining of the classic Dracula novel by Bram Stoker, which introduces Dracula as he arrives in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society.

In reality, he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier. There's only one circumstance that can potentially thwart his plan: Dracula falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.

The series premiered in the USA on NBC on 25 October, 2013.

Dracula premiered in South Africa on DStv's M-Net Series Showcase channel on Monday 24 March 2014, at 22h00. New episodes broadcast weekly. There are 10 episodes in the first season.

Synopsis

From the producers of the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning hit Downton Abbey comes Dracula, a twisted, sophisticated and sexy take on Bram Stoker's classic novel, proving that some stories never die.

Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors) stars in this provocative new drama as one of the world's most iconic characters.

It's the late 19th century and the mysterious Dracula (Rhys Meyers) has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society.

He's especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night - useful for someone who avoids the sun.

But he has another reason for his travels: He hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier.

Everything seems to be going according to plan... until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.

Victoria Smurfit (About a Boy), Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong), Jessica De Gouw (Arrow), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Mr. Selfridge), Nonso Anozie (Game of Thrones) and Katie McGrath (Merlin) also star.

Writer Daniel Knauf (Carnival), Tony Krantz, (24, Sports Night), Colin Callender and Gareth Neame (Downton Abbey) serve as executive producers.

Dracula is a production of Flame Ventures, Sky Living, Playground Entertainment, Universal Television, NBCUniversal International Television Production and Carnival Film & Television.
