Dracula is getting a sexy homoerotic reboot in 2020.
The iconic vampire is being turned into a seductive bisexual bloodsucker for a new Netflix/BBC series.
Danish actor Claes Bang will play the title character and will devour both men and women alike.
According to screenwriter Mark Gatiss, “He’s got broad tastes, this Dracula. It’s not just a collection of sixties women with push-up bras this time. Dracula has never discriminative, in so far as he can tell the difference between the sexes. He goes for his food but also people who interest him.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A teaser trailer for was just released. In it, Dracula can be seen gently caressing the face of a young man and cooing, “Try and stay calm, you’re doing very well.”
The series is scheduled the debut sometime early next year.
Watch.

Shame about the casting. Claes Bang (currently in the final lamentable season of The Affair) has zero sex appeal.

I expect it to be a mess. Stephen Moffat and Mark Gattiss will be producers. They made a mess of Dr Who and Sherlock Holmes

Agreed. They totally messed up Holmes character. I am afraid when Stephen Moffat mentioned bisexual they really mean is ambiguous lesbian sex.

Blecch. True Blood already covered this gay/bi/queer vampire ground, with lots of attractive, appealing actors, didn’t it?

If you’ve read the book Dracula was obviously bi-sexual. It was written in Victorian times. The sexuality was all subtle sensuality.
