Creators of the popular BBC series ‘Sherlock,’ Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss announced today that they are teaming up once again to produce a new show. This time, they will be creating their take on the timeless horror tale of ‘Dracula,’ and the eponymous count’s dark deeds in 1897 Victorian London.
BBC has ordered three 90-minute episodes of the show, with Netflix joining in to host the show outside of the UK. Larry Tanz, head of content acquisition at Netflix, said “We can’t wait to bring Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ brilliant storytelling to our members around the world and we are eager to collaborate on yet another series with the BBC.”
Moffat and Gatiss are excited about the prospect of bringing the classic villain to life once again. “There have always been stories about great evil,” the two said. “What’s special about Dracula is that Bram Stoker gave evil its own hero.”
It is not currently confirmed when the series is projected to air.
