New ‘Dracula’ details from NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt


By Sonya Faria at 10:00 am, January 11, 2013 - @SonyaWrites


Back in July it was announced that NBC would revive Dracula in a new series. NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt is finally dropping more details about the show.

We no longer have to wonder when the new series will hit the network, as Crave Online reports that the show is currently in production to air in the fall 2013 season. Greenblatt also revealed that while the show is based on the Bram Stoker novel, there will be plenty of original elements. He said, “It’s great to tap into the pre-existing title and that basic story but that’s a pretty thin story. It’s going to be over I think before our first season is over. They’ve already invented new stuff that has nothing to do with Bram Stoker. Like any show, you build it as you go.”

Other sources of inspiration for the show include Vlad the Impaler, the Ottoman empire, and the turn of the century.

Show synopsis:


The father of all vampires rises in this provocative new drama starring Golden Globe® winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers (“The Tudors”) as one of the world’s most iconic characters.

It’s the late 19th century, and the mysterious Dracula 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 crossed him 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.

From the producers of the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award®-winning hit “Downton Abbey” comes DRACULA, a twisted, sophisticated and provocative take on Bram Stoker’s classic novel, proving that some stories are truly eternal.

We’re kind of sad to hear we have to wait until the fall for Dracula to premiere, what about you?
