This is not official but hopefully we'll try to confirm with NBC
JONATHAN Rhys Meyers is to shoot the second series of hit TV show Dracula.
The Irish heartthrob reportedly confirmed that a new season of the show, which he also co-produces, had been commissioned. Rhys Meyer unveiled the news at a party thrown by actress Goldie Hawn in London.
Dracula features a strong Irish cast with Katie McGrath from Bray and Dublin native Victoria Smurfit, who now resides in Los Angeles. Smurfit plays the fashion forward vampire slayer, Lady Jayne Wetherby.

I wonder if NBC will air it.
ReplyDeleteHah!
ReplyDeleteif it gets renew i will watch it
ReplyDeleteSo they possibly renew this and possibly not Revolution? No thanks.
ReplyDeleteYep, kinda.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was supposed to be only a ten episode mini series.
ReplyDeleteDracula is an international production so you can't really compare it to the Revolution situation.
ReplyDeleteI just saw the words "hit TV show" and it made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteWould not be surprised if they didn't, maybe on Syfy like what happened with Merlin
ReplyDeleteSky Living was airing it with a few days delay, so maybe they got the full rights for Season 2.
ReplyDeleteI tried to watch it, I really wanted to like it, but I couldn't watch beyond the 2nd episode.
ReplyDeleteYeah,I felt that it was really cheesy.
ReplyDeleteIf so, Hannibal's third season is already taken for granted
ReplyDeleteI watched until episode 5 or something but I got bored. Can't put my finger on why. It being cheesy wasn't the problem for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat does this mean for Hannibal?
ReplyDeleteNothing. We don't know if NBC was the one that renewed it.
ReplyDeleteLike I said below, NBC may not have renewed it.
ReplyDeletePlus obvious superficial dialogues... not even Kretschman could make me watch.
ReplyDeleteGreat news if true. I loved the first season, so this would really make my day
ReplyDeleteHannibal is also a coproduction, isn't it? The studio by itself could comission Hannibal's third season, right? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I feel about it. I had kind of made my peace with the ending. IF they do come back I hope they improve the quality a little bit.
ReplyDeleteHa.
ReplyDeleteNo, but some people might have said that because it didn't do very well from the begining.
ReplyDeleteYes, but I meant it's means nothing for Hannibal's future on NBC, unless we have an official confirmation.
ReplyDeleteLove the cast love the show hope it dose get renewed.
ReplyDeleteTen episode limited series, the idea was to order only cable length seasons each year, kind of like how FOX is trying to do with Sleepy Hollow and The Following.
ReplyDeletefans often try to justify their favourite shows poor ratings with it being a mini-series
ReplyDeleteWhat?!?! I didn't think it would based on ratings solely, but this is awesome, since the finale left on such a big cliffhanger, sad to see favorites dead also, but I'm happy, hope it's true :)
ReplyDeleteNBC won't air it. I'm sure
ReplyDeleteI always found it strange that it was only supposed to be limited but that's what people kept on saying. Thanks for clearing it up.
ReplyDeleteIf Sky Living can renew this terrible show, I will be pissed if Gaumont does not do the same to Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteGaumont will do everything possible to keep it on the air. Besides, NBC don't deserve a good show like Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's true
ReplyDeleteI hope it renewed it can be a summer show I started to love this show
ReplyDeleteIf they get it cheap enough to not be making a loss they'd be stupid not to, IMO. I feel like more people would watch broadcast shows if networks were more patient and it felt less of a risk. And limited run co-productions could be an answer to that. No matter what they are going to get closer and closer to cable ratings each season, NBC particularly they might as well accept that for now haha.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't think this was possible. Great news!
ReplyDeleteAnd Crossing Lines as well.
ReplyDeleteOkay there have been better Dracula films than this series but something about Meyers' portrayal intrigued & stuck with me..so persisted with S1. Don't know how they are advancing storyline wise but hopefully it's good enough to check out.
ReplyDeleteMajor Katie McGrath fan. I hope we get another series.
ReplyDeleteSyFy didn't give up on Merlin, the writers and BBC did. They wanted to end it before the quality became bad since they "thought the show had run its course" even though an extra episode SHOULD have been made to tie the last loose ends. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteClearly whoever wrote the article didn't watch the show, as Smurfit played Jayne, as in, past tense.
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled if Dracula gets renewed! Loved it!! Even if NBC doesn't renew it, if I can watch it online or on another network, I'll be happy.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is true.Ive been waiting to hear if it got picked up for a second season.And I hope it's longer than 8 episodes.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME NEWS.................if it's true! Member of the Katie McGrath fandom since Merlin. She is a great actress and Dracula is a great series putting a new spin on a great old story! 4 EVER, Nobody!!!
ReplyDeleteDracula is a great show, so I'll be glad if this is true:) stop bad mouthing shows. Same old spoiler...people bad mouthing shows that has taken a lot of hard work to make.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a gossip ... not a spoiler :-/
ReplyDeleteI kinda hope not. I rather be happy with that nice open ending. then watch more for drama. but I will watch again if it comes.
ReplyDeleteNot what i meant. NBC aired the first season of Merlin, but then it moved to Syfy for the rest of the series
ReplyDeleteIt's a point of view, I've watched first season and I'll watch second if there will be one, but I liked only scenography and JRM (he is perfect for this role IMHO).
ReplyDeleteThat's where the "If" comes in
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it. I think next season should be this for Fridays on NBC:
ReplyDeleteConstantine
Grimm
Dracula(first half of the season)/Hannibal(second half of the season)
Terrible show? Dracula is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWoah! Great news, hopefully it's true! I don't care whether NBC airs it or not as long as more episodes are produced! :D
ReplyDeleteSomething like what happened with Saving Hope?
ReplyDeleteNBC may not have renewed it. It's a co-production and it's likely that the studio commissioned another season when NBC didn't.
ReplyDeleteI hated the series finale of Merlin. I wish Morgana could have had a show-down with Merline. A full-throttle show-down.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same after 2 episodes, it quickly got better IMO. Also while it wasn't a hit ratings wise the critics seemed to warm up to it quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteThis is a hit in UK.
ReplyDeleteHopefully NBC renews and airs Dracula! I cannot wait for season 2 :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be shocked if this gets renewed but I wouldn't be upset about it either. I'm curious about what happens, so I'd watch it for sure.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of the show NBC Dracula. The writers did a great job at intertwining the story lines of the various characters. The sets and costumes are beautiful. The actors and actresses chosen for the cast was brilliant. I loved the dry wit and the often funny sarcastic humour. The paring of Alexander Grayson and Renfield is perfect. I am "Team Grayson/Dracula." I strongly want the show given a second season and possibly more. :)
