We know another season of 'Sherlock' is years away so fans should definitely be turning their attention to the next project from the creative minds behind the detective series, as Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffatt are teaming up again for a new show about Dracula.
The three-part 90-minute series is still a while away, but it has already secured a Netflix deal. While the BBC will broadcast it in the UK and Ireland, Netflix are set to stream the adaptation to the rest of the world.
Charlotte Moore, BBC director of content said: "Genius duo Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss turn their attentions to Dracula for unmissable event television on BBC One."
Larry Tanz, VP, content acquisition, 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."
The adaptation of the Bram Stoker gothic horror classic, like the novel, will be set in 1897 and will revolve around the blood-drinking count from Transylvania who sets his sights on Victorian London.
Moffat and Gatiss said: "There have always been stories about great evil. What’s special about Dracula is that Bram Stoker gave evil its own hero."
Speaking to entertainment.ie earlier this year, Gatiss said of the new series; "It's a great Irish story, because of it's wonderful author, so that's also worth celebrating."
Although Gatiss said there were no plans as of yet to film any of the series here: "Not at the moment - we haven't got that far. There will be a foreign element for Transylvania I think, but we don't know where yet."
No word yet on when exactly we will get to see it but we will keep you posted.
