Gatiss and Moffat's Dracula series has officially wrapped filming
As the final sunrise breaks on the set of BBC One's Dracula series, co-creator Mark Gatiss has announced the end of production.
Collaborating with his trusty Sherlock writing partner Steven Moffat, the duo are bringing the infamous Count to the small screen via three feature-length episodes, although we still haven't got the foggiest as to when the show will actually premiere.

In Gatiss' tweet, he offers a pretty spine-tingling insight from the production's last day, captioning a photo of himself, Moffat and producer Sue Vertue: "Well, that's a wrap on Dracula after seven extraordinary months. You won't believe it - but when we were lining up the very last shot, a bat flew into the studio. Like a convention anecdote!"
Quick! Someone check the cast and crew for bite marks!
Dracula stars The Girl in the Spider's Web actor Claes Bang as the Transylvanian terror, along with Lyndsey Marshal, Paul Brennen, Joanna Scanlan, Chanel Cresswell, Years and Years' Lydia West and newcomer Millicent Wong in supporting roles.
Previously, Moffat and Gatiss teased how Bram Stoker's creation will be "the hero of his own story" in their adaptation.
The former explained to Radio Times: "There's lots of things that are challenging about Dracula. Having an evil lead character is actually really difficult. That's been the main challenge I think. But how we've handled, that you'll have to wait and see."
Gatiss added: "It's been very exciting though. Because we sort of made a promise to ourselves and the people who are making it, paying for it, that we'd make Dracula the hero of his own story, and less of a shadowy presence."
Dracula will premiere on BBC One in the UK and on Netflix everywhere else.
