BBC’s three-episode take on Bram Stoker’s Dracula with Claes Bang hit Netflix earlier this year. And today Bang says he would be super happy to do one more season.
He tells Collider: “That’s absolutely something that I think is being discussed, but I don’t think there’s any news, at all. I haven’t heard anything. I would be super happy to do one more [season]. I’d love to go back with all of those people and do more. It was were really fulfilling and lovely, and really, really cool to do. This is absolutely the truth, I have actually tried to find out if something was happening, but I don’t think they have started the discussions yet. I think what’s going on is that Netflix and the BBC are evaluating how it’s done, and all of that. So, unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything because I don’t know, at this point. I would actually love to know, and I would love to do one more, but there’s no news in that department yet.”

This new miniseries is a reinventing Bram Stoker’s classic story for a 21st-century audience. That said, fear not, this miniseries stays (mostly) rooted in Victorian times.
According to creators, in this version, Dracula is “the hero of his own story” and will be the main character, rather than “a shadowy villain for more traditional heroes to overcome.” Also, this version is said to be “both faithful and faithless at the same time.” Whatever that means.
