More About NBC's "Dracula" Series
In a further departure from the original source material, NBC's new "Dracula" series will not have Jonathan Rhys Meyers's vampire count sleeping in a coffin, or a gothic castle.
Instead, he'll occupy a lavish mansion with cutting edge technology at the time of the show's 1896 setting. The series has Dracula posing as an American industrialist introducing modern science to Victorian-era London.
