Steven Moffat's 'Dracula' Will Hit Netflix in January

It's official: Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss' highly anticipated adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula will come to America in January, courtesy of Netflix.

This Gothic horror-themed take on Stoker's classic aims to bring the infamous vampire out of the shadows and center him within his own story. For those of you who don't know, in the novel Dracula, the titular character is largely regulated to the fringes of the story, and doesn't actually appear that much.

Moffat and Gatiss certainly seem primed and excited to change that, as every piece of promotional material surrounding this series has centered exclusively on Dracula himself. It's not clear at this point who else is even involved in this story, let alone how important they might be. Maybe, in this particular take, that doesn't matter so much. At least if its creators are to be believed.

"The big challenge we set ourselves was to make Dracula the central character in his own story for the first time. What’s it like as the anti-hero? What you have to give him is a personality which spans four centuries… You don’t want him to be just a shadowy presence,” Gatiss told an audience at the recent British Film Institute premiere screening.
