The English-language production stars Jonathan Bailey (Wicked) 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, Johnny Flynn (Ripley) as Renfield, Francis Lovehall (A Thousand Blows) as Arthur and Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) as Professor Van Helsing.
The international language casts will be led by Omar Sy and Deva Cassel as Dracula and Mina respectively in the French adaptation; Riccardo Scamarcio and Benedetta Porcaroli in the Italian adaptation; Matthias Schweighöfer and Jeanne Goursaud in the German adaptation; Asier Etxeandía and Claudia Salas in the Castilian Spanish adaptation; and José María de Tavira and Esmeralda Pimentel in the LATAM Spanish adaptation.

The story follows Mina Murray as she pieces together fragments of letters, diary entries and chilling testimony after her fiancé vanishes in Transylvania. As she searches for the predator stalking those she loves, Mina discovers that he is already hunting her. When Mina’s closest friend Lucy succumbs to his thrall, the enigmatic Professor Van Helsing is summoned to wage war on an unfathomable threat. However, Mina’s intellect, resolve and ability to connect hidden clues may hold the key to stopping the ancient predator, if he has not already found his way inside her mind.
Aurelie de Troyer, Head of Audible Content, International, said, “This is what Audible does best,crafting immersive audio experiences that transport listeners into the heart of the story. 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.”
She continued, “We've assembled world-class casts across seven languages, from Jonathan Bailey and Ella Purnell to Omar Sy, Riccardo Scamarcio and Matthias Schweighöfer, exceptional international talent delivering a truly global Dracula. With director Mary Lambert at the helm and a haunting score by Ilan Eshkeri, we're bringing this ambitious production to life just in time for Halloween.”
Award-winning director Mary Lambert, known for the cult horror classic Pet Sematary, makes her audiobook directing debut with this production. The adaptation was written by up-and-coming writer Robyn Ahern, recipient of the Bisha K. Ali Screenwriters Fellowship, for her first lead credit. The production is supported by an original score by Ilan Eshkeri (Audible's 1984, House of Guinness) alongside a fully immersive soundscape.
Audible’s Dracula invites listeners to experience literature’s most shadowy figure through an immersive audio format, with the production designed to create the feeling of being hunted while following the thrill of the hunt.
