Audible is bringing a new version of Dracula to listeners worldwide with a star-studded global audio production.
The project features separate adaptations in multiple languages, with each version offering its own cast and interpretation of Bram Stoker’s iconic horror story.
The English-language adaptation includes Jonathan Bailey as Count Dracula. Ella Purnell plays Mina, while David Jonsson takes on the role of Dr. Seward.
For international audiences, Audible created unique productions for each language. The French adaptation stars Omar Sy as Dracula and Deva Cassel as Mina.
Dracula story focuses on Mina’s investigation
Unlike many adaptations that center on the vampire himself, Audible’s official synopsis places Mina at the heart of the story.
The production follows Mina as she searches for answers after her fiancé disappears in Transylvania.
She begins uncovering hidden details through letters, diary entries and disturbing accounts from witnesses.
As Mina follows the trail, she realizes the danger is closer than she expected. Dracula is not only the creature she is searching for. He is also searching for her.
The story highlights Mina’s intelligence and ability to connect clues that others overlook.
Her determination may become the key to stopping the ancient predator.
Audible expands Dracula for modern audiences
The new audio production aims to bring fresh energy to one of the most recognizable horror stories ever written.
By creating different versions for international listeners, Audible is allowing audiences around the world to experience the story through local voices and performances.
The casting choices bring together actors from film, television and theater, creating a major ensemble for the project.
With Jonathan Bailey, Ella Purnell, David Jonsson, Omar Sy and Deva Cassel leading the productions, the adaptation combines classic gothic horror with a modern global approach.
