Timeless' Goran Visnjic Nabs Iconic Role of Dracula in ABC's Brides Pilot

Coming up necks for Timeless‘ Goran Visnjic: The iconic role of Count Dracula in the ABC drama pilot The Brides.

The potential series, from Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, is a “sexy contemporary reimagining” of the classic Dracula story with “strong horror elements,” centering on the legendary vampire’s three brides (played by Suits‘ Gina Torres and Claws‘ Katherine Reis; the third bride is not yet cast).

The Brides ensemble also includes Chris Mason (Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists) as a mogul who goes head-to-head with Torres’ bride and Sophia Tatum (I Am Not Okay With This) as a model who crosses paths with Dracula’s “middle” (and still uncast) bride.
