The writing-producing team behind Sherlock is working on a similarly formatted series about the iconic vampire. Three 90-minute installments have been ordered, penned and created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. According to Variety, the series is set in 1897 and will revolve around the blood-drinking count from Transylvania who sets his sights on Victorian London.

BBC’s Piers Wenger said in a statement, “Steven and Mark’s ingenious vision for Dracula is as clever as it is chilling. In their talented hands, the fans will experience the power of Bram Stoker’s creation as if completely anew. We are thrilled to be collaborating with them and the brilliant team at Hartswood on yet another iconic British series.”

Larry Tanz, VP content acquisition at Netflix added, “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.”

Sue Vertue, exec at Hartswood Films, concluded, ”We are absolutely thrilled to be back at the BBC, and also delighted that Netflix is coming on board with Dracula. There’s nothing like fresh blood.”

The spin-off will focus on Tchéky Karyo’s Julien Baptiste. Tchéky starred as the detective in the series’ original run, which aired from 2014 to 2016.

The spin-off will follow Baptiste and his wife on a visit to Amsterdam, when the Chief of Police, also Baptiste’s ex-girlfriend, seeks out his help on a case that takes him for the beautiful streets of Amsterdam to the city’s seedy underworld. 

“Julien Baptiste is very dear to me, so I’m really excited to be following his journey to the streets of Amsterdam and seeing what dark secrets he unveils this time,” Karyo said.”No doubt he’ll continue to take great risks all in the name of justice.”

Creators and writers Jack and Harry Williams also shared their excitement at the spin-off announcement, saying: “Julien Baptiste lives! It’s an absolute pleasure to be writing the character of Baptiste again, and working with the utterly brilliant Tchéky Karyo, who brings such depth and individuality to Julien.”

Filming of the spin-off will start on location later this year.
