Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers (โ€œThe Tudorsโ€) stars in this provocative new drama as one of the worldโ€™s most iconic characters. Itโ€™s the late 19th century and the mysterious Dracula (Rhys Meyers) has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. Heโ€™s especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night โ€” useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: He hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to planโ€ฆ until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife. Victoria Smurfit (โ€œAbout a Boyโ€), Thomas Kretschmann (โ€œKing Kongโ€), Jessica De Gouw (โ€œArrowโ€), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (โ€œMr. Selfridgeโ€), Nonso Anozie (โ€œGame of Thronesโ€) and Katie McGrath (โ€œMerlinโ€) also star.
