A new take on 'Dracula' launched on BBC last night and it's already getting a big reception.

Claes Bang stars as the title character while Dolly Wells plays Sister Agatha, a descendant of Dracula's nemesis, Van Helsing.

The show will consist of three episodes which air over three consecutive nights.

It then heads to Netflix on January 4th so you'll be able to catch it there if you missed it on TV.

The latest adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic is developed by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, who also collaborated on 'Doctor Who' and 'Sherlock'.

You can check out the trailer here.

Below are spoiler-free fan responses to whet your appetite.

 

The second episode of 'Dracula' airs tonight on BBC One at 9pm while the finale airs Friday.
