The series debuted in the USA in 1990, and was shown on YTV in Canada in 1994 and 1997. In addition, it was broadcast in South Africa on what was then called TV1 in 1995 and then repeated on SABC1 in 1996. It was also shown on Asia's "Star Plus" network in 1993, and on England's Nickelodeon network 1994-1996. The Sci-Fi channel has been airing it on Saturdays since late 1995. There are 21 half-hour episodes. Dracula: the Series was filmed in Luxembourg, and stars Geordie Johnson as Dracula/Lucard.
Alexander Lucard is the vampire better known as Count Dracula (A.
