Fancy a bit of blood-sucking as a side dish with your lunch? The BBC has launched a teaser trailer for their new series ‘Dracula’.

From the makers of Sherlock, Claes Bang stars as Dracula in the brand new mini-series inspired by Bram Stoker’s classic novel. The limited series will span across three feature-length episodes. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat penned all three taking influence from classical iterations of the horror icon but adding their own bit spice to the tale.

Besides Bang, the cast includes The Crown’s John Heffernan as Jonathan Harker, actresses Dolly Wells and Joanna Scanlan as Sister Agatha and Mother Superior respectively, and Bang’s Dracula.

Morfydd Clark, Sacha Dhawan, Jonathan Aris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Lyndsey Marshal, Chanel Cresswell, Matthew Beard and Lydia West also star.

As yet we are still awaiting an air date but ‘Dracula’ will air on BBC One in the UK and on Netflix outside of the UK and Ireland.
