Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9 September 1960) is an English actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His movies have also earned more than $2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. Grant achieved international stardom after appearing in Richard Curtis's sleeper hit Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s to deliver comic performances in mainstream films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). By the turn of the century, he had established himself as a leading man skilled with a satirical comic talent. Since the 2000s, Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), About A Boy (2002), Love Actually (2003), and American Dreamz (2006). Within the film industry, Grant is cited as an anti-movie star who approaches his roles like a character actor, with the ability to make acting look effortless. Hallmarks of his comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial expressions. The entertainment media's coverage of Grant's life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as a thespian. He has been vocal about his disrespect for the profession of acting, his disdain towards the culture of celebrity, and hostility towards the media. In a career spanning 20 years, Grant has repeatedly claimed that acting is not a true calling but just a job he fell into.

This animated miniseries will be very faithful to the original Bram Stoker novel. It will show a backstory of the Prince of Darkness. At the near end of the Victorian Era, Jonathan Barker, a young English realtor, travels to Castle Dracula in Transylvania to discuss real estate with the count himself. After accidentally learning too much about why the Count is buying land in Carfax, Harker spends the next few months in the Castle as prisoner. Meanwhile, his fiancée, Mina, gets worried sick about why he hasn't written to her in a while, while her friend Lucy Westerner, has found the perfect man to marry out of all three suitors. When Jonathan finally escapes, Mina meets up with him at where he's being hospitalised. Upon reunion, they elope and return to England. Upon their absence, a cargo ship washes ashore with the crew dead, and something is lurking among the shadows of England. Certain people, including Lucy, are acting strangely (desiring to drink blood). After Lucy dies, Dr. John Seward, who is a psychiatrist, learns from his old professor, Abraham Van Helsing, that the Count is a vampire planning to create a legion of the undead (Lucy being one of them). Everyone comes together and learns from each other's journal entries that Mina may hold the key to end this reign of terror.
