Netflix’s brand new Dracula took the mysterious vampire out of the Victorian age, and yes, dropped him right in the mess of 2020. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, aka the team behind Sherlock, this new Dracula was steeped in blood, lore, sex, and bonkers plot twists. However, the series has become a must-watch weekend binge thanks to the chemistry of its stars, Claes Bang and Dolly Wells.
Bang plays Count Dracula with all the campy joie de vivre we’ve come to expect from the theatrical villain, while Wells gets to breathe new life into the myth of Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula reimagines the stalwart monster hunter as a prickly and smart nun named Sister Agatha.
So now that you’ve binged all three 90-minute-long episodes of Dracula Season 1, how long will you have to wait for Dracula Season 2? Will there even be a Dracula Season 2? And does that dramatic Dracula ending spell doom for the future of the show?
Here’s everything we know about Dracula Season 2 on Netflix…
WILL THERE BE A SEASON 2 OF NETFLIX’S DRACULA? WHEN WILL DRACULA SEASON 2 HIT NETFLIX?
As of right now, we don’t know if there will be a Dracula Season 2. The series literally just premiered both on the BBC (in a three-night premiere) and on Netflix. Usually, it takes some time for either network to decide to move forward with more seasons, and it will come down to ratings and whatever the showrunners decide.
Should the BBC and Netflix order a second season of Dracula, fans may have to wait a while for new episodes to arrive. The first season was announced all the way back in 2017 and Claes Bang was cast in 2018. Given that timeline, we could expect Dracula Season 2 in 2022!
That said, the ending of Dracula Season 1 feels rather open-shut. That is, the way it’s filmed, it looks like the show’s two leads…uh…die.
WHAT DOES THE ENDING OF NETFLIX’S DRACULA MEAN? DOES DRACULA DIE AT THE END OF NETFLIX’S DRACULA?

Well, it definitely seems like Dracula Season 1 ends with the demise of both Count Dracula and Sister Agatha Van Helsing. After weeks of puzzling over the origin of all of Count Dracula’s various vampiric quirks — like his fear of crosses — the newly revived Sister Agatha (living on in the body of her descendent Zoe) figures out that Dracula’s weakness is actually low self esteem. He’s the only one of his warriors too craven to die like a hero on the battlefield and he is defined by his fear of death.
A now dying Sister Agatha uses this to coax Dracula into the sunlight, which is revealed to not be harmful to him. Dracula then decides to feast on the dying Agatha’s blood, which will in turn kill him (apparently). The final moments are bloody, orgasmic, and soaked in harsh sunlight. Dracula and Agatha believe they are dying together and as the scene fades to black, it certainly seems like they did.
However, vampires and supernatural creatures always have a way of coming back to life so…who knows? The real Dracula killer might be lackluster ratings on the BBC. As the show is a co-production of the BBC and Netflix, it’s more likely that a decision about the future of the series will come down to business tactics as opposed to Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’s creative vision for the character.
