With the success of "True Blood" and "Vampire Diaries", NBC is really pushing for their own Horror series. They already have "Hannibal" and "Mockingbird Lane" in the works, but they aren't stopping their they are working on a new Dracula series and it looks like we know who is set to play the leading female role. If reports are correct "Carnivale" creater Daniel Knauf has been hired as showrunner and head writer for the series. "Dracula" has already been given a 10 episode straight-to-series for its first season.
The beautiful Jessica De Gouw (currently playing Huntress on CW's "Arrow"), is going to play Mina although her character will differ from Bram Stroker's novel. In the show Mina Murray is a
"striking medical student who is engaged to Jonathan Harker but upon
meeting Grayson both are instantly mesmerized by the other’s uncanny
resemblance to someone from their past."
NBC have also cast their Dracula an he is set to be played by Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, this isn't his first appearance on a TV Show he also played King Henry VIII in "The Tudors" plus he played Elvis Presley in "Elvis" which earned him a Golden Globe back in 2005.
“It centers on Dracula (Meyers), who arrives in London posing as
American entrepreneur Allen Grayson, who maintains that he wants to
bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality, he hopes to wreak
revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier, but he
falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of
his dead wife.”
