Goran Višnjić joins Gina Torres and Katherine Reis in ABC’s vampire drama The Brides. 

Višnjić has been cast as the infamous vampire in the contemporary reimagining of Dracula. The Brides is described as a family drama with a trio of powerful female leads at its heart — Cleo (Torres), Renée, and Lily (Reis). The drama is a vampire soap about empowered, immortal women and the things they do to maintain wealth, prestige, legacy — and their non-traditional family.

Per Deadline, Višnjić’s Count Dracula who “turned” each of his three brides, is left for dead at his destroyed castle in the Carpathian mountains while his three wives — Cleo, Renée, and Lily — flee to start a new life together.

The drama pilot hails from Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros Television.
