Audible is set to release a new audio adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, featuring a full-cast production in seven languages and a focus on immersive storytelling.
The English-language version stars Jonathan Bailey as Dracula, Ella Purnell as Mina, and Aimee Lou Wood as Lucy, with a supporting cast including Louis Partridge, David Jonsson, Lesley Manville, Johnny Flynn, Francis Lovehall, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
International versions will be available in Castilian Spanish, French, German, Italian, LATAM Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, each with local casts.
Omar Sy and Deva Cassel lead the French cast, Riccardo Scamarcio and Benedetta Porcaroli the Italian, Matthias Schweighöfer and Jeanne Goursaud the German, Asier Etxeandia and Claudia Salas the Castilian Spanish, and JosĂ© MarĂa de Tavira and Esmeralda Pimentel the LATAM Spanish production.
The story follows Mina Murray as she investigates the disappearance of her fiancé in Transylvania, piecing together letters and testimonies to uncover the truth about Dracula.
As her friend Lucy falls under Dracula’s influence, Professor Van Helsing is called in, but it is Mina’s determination and intellect that may prove decisive.
Aurelie de Troyer, Head of Audible Content, International, commented: “This is what Audible does best, crafting immersive audio experiences that transport listeners into the heart of the story. Our production elevates the psychological thriller at Dracula’s core, with the battle between Mina and Dracula as the heart of it all.
“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.”
Mary Lambert, known for the film Pet Sematary, directs the audiobook for the first time. The adaptation is written by Robyn Ahern, recipient of the Bisha K. Ali Screenwriters Fellowship, and features an original score by Ilan Eshkeri.
Dracula will launch on Audible on 1 October 2026 in English, French, Italian, Castilian Spanish, and LATAM Spanish, with the German version following on 9 February 2027.
