Our First Look at Steven Moffat's 'Dracula' Series is Dark and Bloody

When you think of a Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss collaboration, your mind probably goes automatically to Sherlock, the modern-day adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective that starred Benedict Cumberbatch and featured complicated mysteries and lightning fast dialogue. But it seems as though their newest collaboration - a period adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula - will bear little resemblance to its predecessor.

The first teaser trailer for the new series has arrived, and it promises a much bloodier, darker and, quite frankly, more disturbing sort of series. The 45-second clip is positively drenched in blood and includes everything from grotesque body horror to a squadron of nuns armed with stakes. What are we to expect from this show? Your guess is as good as ours.

We know that Dracula's first season will be comprised of three episodes - and that we're all basically assuming it will continue past that point, should it prove successful.
