The BBC has released a new trailer for the upcoming Dracula miniseries, which stars Claes Bang as the legendary Transylvanian Count from the class Bram Stoker novel.
The trailer begins with various characters discussing the creatures and monsters that lurk in the world, Dracula being among them. The Count then promises to destroy everything as we get a montage of various gruesome shots of him unleashing bloody hell.
Ordered by the BBC and Netflix in October 2018, Dracula will be comprised of three 90-minute episodes, much like Sherlock, and will begin in 1897 in Transylvania, where Dracula lays plans to travel to Victorian England.
According to Netflix's description, "The Count Dracula legend transforms with new tales that flesh out the vampire's gory crimes -- and bring his vulnerability into the light."
Executive produced by Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat, Sue Vertue and Ben Irving, Dracula stars John Heffernan, Dolly Wells, Joanna Scanlan, Sacha Dhawan, Jonathan Aris, Morfydd Clark, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Claes Bang as Count Dracula. At the time of this writing, no premiere date has been released.
