Dracula Spoilers and Promos: The Blood is the Life

In the late 19th century, Dracula arrives in Victorian London under the guise of being a dashing American entrepreneur looking to introduce modern science to society. However, his actual purpose in moving to London is to exact revenge upon those who cursed him with immortality all those years ago, only he finds a distraction in his quest in the form of Mina, a woman who looks exactly like his former wife.
