Universal’s Dark Universe failed to give us a definitive, modern take on Count Dracula, with Luke Evans’ Dracula Untold not even being included alongside all of the other failed monsters of that series, but maybe a Syfy original series will do what the Dark Universe could not (stranger things have happened). According to The Hollywood Reporter, former Battlestar Galactica star Tricia Helfer has joined the cast of Syfy’s Van Helsing as Dracula, who will presumably be a new Big Bad for the series—because you can’t just bring Dracula into a show called Van Helsing and not make it a big deal.
