Dracula: The Series is a short-lived syndicated series about Count Dracula and his struggles with Gustav Van Helsing, as well as Gustav's young nephews — Maximilian and Christopher Townsend. They were also aided by a schoolgirl, Sophie Metternich. Romantic tensions developed between Chris and Sophie. The series was filmed in Luxembourg, and produced by Phil Bedard and Larry Lalonde, best known for their work on John Woo's Once a Thief and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.

The series formula was relatively straightforward, with the four heroes learning of some plot by Lucard/Dracula and attempting to foil it, with at least some success. In keeping with the novel, but not most film and television lore, vampires could walk in sunlight but lacked their powers. Anyone bitten just once by a vampire transformed into a zombie-like servant. This process could be stopped by applying holy water to the bite.

Quando Eileen, uma executiva bancária da Filadélfia, recebe uma missão na Europa, ela leva seus filhos, Max e Chris, com ela. Enquanto Eileen se concentra nos negócios, Max e Chris ficam com seu tio, Gustav e Sophie Martineck, uma adolescente que vive com Gustav enquanto frequenta a escola. Logo depois, Sophie, Max e Chris descobrem que o impiedoso magnata Lucard é na verdade o famoso Conde Drácula e que ele está prestes a controlar o mundo através de suas conexões corporativas. Eles também descobrem que Gustav é descendente da famosa família Helsing, os caçadores de vampiros, e decidem destruir Lucard antes que ele consiga seu intento maligno.

El conde Drácula usa el alias de "Alexander Lucard" y es un magnate adinerado (el nombre "A. Lucard" es "Drácula" al revés). Está constantemente en guardia contra los ataques de Gustav Van Helsing, así como de los sobrinos jóvenes de Gustav, Maximilian y Christopher Townsend, junto con la joven Sophie Metternich. Las tensiones románticas se desarrollaron entre Chris y Sophie.
