BBC and Netflix announce Dracula series
15 October 2018 · Netflix – commissioning announcement
Estate summary
Netflix’s original commissioning announcement sets out its partnership with BBC One and Hartswood Films for a three-part Dracula adaptation by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. Each planned episode would run for 90 minutes, drawing on Bram’s novel and beginning with the Count’s ambitions against Victorian London. The release identifies the commissioning and production teams and distinguishes the intended BBC and Netflix territories. It records the project at its announcement stage in October 2018; the later premiere and casting should not be confused with what had been announced then. The production photograph comes from later publicity for the completed series.
