M-Net has Dracula, with the new drama series reinventing the vampire legend, tentatively set for March 2014 and M-Net Series Showcase.


You're reading it here first. 

I can reveal that M-Net has the uber-ooh Dracula - and I can spill that the South African pay-TV broadcaster has tentatively earmarked the fantastic new drama series for the M-Net Series Showcase (DStv 113) channel.

TV with Thinus can also reveal a tentative starting date for Dracula on M-Net Series Showcase of 24 March 2014.

The brand-new (and awesome) American drama series starring the real life sex-drugs-bite-you Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Dracula is exceptional in the clever cool way in which it plays with the Dracula legend and for the way in which it up-ends nearly every single thing you thought you knew about vampire and the vampire - besides the rules of drinking human blood and of not being able to cope with direct sunlight which remain true to the rules.

What if Dracula was actually a good guy? What if Van Helsing was actually not such a good guy? What if Dracula wanted to help (save) the world? What if an evil and nefarious secret society was destroying the world and Dracula was fighting them and their evil deeds?

What if Dracula was a clever inventor and was really in love with a girl who was killed and who he somehow just found again? This great new drama and must-see television gives viewers just that.

It's set in the Victorian era and the look is simply sumptuous. Dracula comes with  a lot of great special effects, cool scary moments, great story, action, costumes and just impressive scale.
