When we last heard about new BBC and Netflix co-production Dracula it was aiming for an early 2019 production start. At the time it was announced that Claes Bang would be taking on the lead role and now we have a first look at the actor in action.
These two first-look photos from the set feature a very casual looking Bang alongside his more sinister alter-ego.
The series hails from Sherlock masterminds Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss and is set to follow the three-part, 90 minute episode format which made that show a huge success.
Jonny Campbell (Westworld), Damon Thomas (Killing Eve) and Paul McGuigan (Sherlock) are confirmed to direct each part of the first series. The series will begin in 1897 in Transylvania, where Dracula lays plans to travel to Victorian England.
Dracula stars Claes Bang (The Square), Lyndsey Marshal (The League of Gentlemen), Chanel Cresswell (This Is England), Matthew Beard (An Education), Lydia West (Years & Years), Paul Brennen (Happy Valley), Sarah Niles (Catastrophe), Sofia Oxenham (Poldark), John McCrea (God’s Own Country), Phil Dunster (Humans) and Millicent Wong.
