“Young Dracula” is a British teen horror drama series broadcast on CBBC, inspired by Michael Lawrence’s children’s book “Young Dracula AND Young Monsters.” Directed by Joss Agnew, the show debuted in 2006, with its second season airing from late 2007 to early 2008. After a three-year hiatus, the third season premiered on October 31, 2011, followed by a fourth season starting on October 29, 2012.

The initial two seasons center on the Dracula family, a clan of vampires consisting of Vladimir, his father Count Dracula, and his older sister Ingrid. Originally from Transylvania, they relocate to the small Welsh town of Stokely due to conflicts with angry villagers. Filming took place in various Welsh locations, such as Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, Caerphilly Castle, Tretower Court, and parts of Llantrisant. The third season, which aired three years after the second, depicts Vlad and the Count escaping from both vampires and hunters, with the Count intent on Vlad embracing his fate as “the Chosen One.” This season was shot in Liverpool in 2011, utilizing sites like the abandoned Margaret Bevan School, Croxteth Hall, and Stanley Docks. The fourth season continues the storyline from the third, under the direction of a new filmmaker.
