Bram Stoker’s classic spine-tingler “Dracula” is getting all-new adaptations from Audible — in seven different languages, each with its own full-cast audio recording.
Audible is adapting the Gothic horror novel for English, Castilian Spanish, French, German, Italian, Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Each production features a full ensemble cast.
The English-language production of Audible’s “Dracula” stars Jonathan Bailey (“Wicked,” “Bridgerton”) as Dracula, Ella Purnell (“Fallout”) as Mina, Aimee Lou Wood (“The White Lotus”) as Lucy, Louis Partridge (“Enola Holmes”) as Jonathan, David Jonsson (“Industry”) as Dr. Seward, Lesley Manville (“Phantom Thread”) as Mrs. Westenra and Maggie Gyllenhaal (“The Dark Knight”) as Professor Van Helsing.
Here’s the story of “Dracula,” as summarized by Audible: When her fiancé vanishes in Transylvania, Mina Murray pieces together fragments of letters, diary entries and chilling testimony to hunt the predator stalking those she loves, only to discover he’s already hunting her. When Mina’s closest friend Lucy succumbs to his thrall, the enigmatic Professor Van Helsing is summoned to wage war on this unfathomable threat. But it is Mina, with her intellect, her resolve, her gift for drawing unseen lines between clues, who may hold the key to stopping this ancient predator — if he hasn’t already found his way inside her mind.
Audible’s “Dracula” launches Oct. 1, 2026, for English, French, Italian, Castilian Spanish and LatAm Spanish; the German version will premiere Feb. 9, 2027. Those are available now to preorder on Audible. The Brazilian Portuguese version is slated to debut sometime in 2027; the cast has yet to be announced.
Audible’s “Dracula” is directed by Mary Lambert — known for directing film adaptation of Stephen King’s cult horror classic “Pet Sematary” — in her audiobook directorial debut. The novel is adapted by writer Robyn Ahern, recipient of the Bisha K. Ali Screenwriters Fellowship, for her first lead credit. The audiobook features an original score by Ilan Eshkeri (Audible’s “1984,” “House of Guinness”).
“This is what Audible does best: crafting immersive audio experiences that transport listeners into the heart of the story,” said Aurelie de Troyer, international head of Audible content. “When Dracula whispers in your ear, when you hear his footsteps in the dark but see no reflection, that’s when you understand why we’re the home for this story. Our production elevates the psychological thriller at Dracula’s core, with the battle between Mina and Dracula as the heart of it all.”
