Emmy Award-winning actor Bradley Whitford (Godzilla: King of Monsters, Get Out) is set to play the legendary vampire hunter Professor Van Helsing in the horror comedy podcast series Mina & Lucy’s Guide to Slaying Dracula.
The show, aimed at a tween audience predominantly, sees Whitford’s Van Helsing as the eccentric grandfather of Mina, and he keeps his past as the ultimate vampire hunter under wraps.
A Podcast With Bite
Written by Lauren Wells (FX’s What We Do in the Shadows) and based loosely on the classic novel by Bram Stoker, the serialized spooky comedy adventure story follows best friends Mina and Lucy, who are also monster enthusiasts. They discover something shocking about their new classmate, and when strange occurrences begin rattling their small town, the friends find themselves confronting the one and only Count Dracula.
The cast includes Ritchie Coster (The Dark Knight) as Dracula, Broadway star Suri Marrero (The Lion King, Frozen) as Mina Murray, and newcomer Genna Du Quesnay as Lucy West. They are supported by the likes of Marissa Jaret Winokur (Hairspray), Che Tafari (The Good Fight), Julian Chowdhury (That 90’s Show), and Anthony Atamanuik (30 Rock).
Mina & Lucy’s Guide to Slaying Dracula will begin today, September 21, 2023 and be available across all podcast platforms, with additional episodes released in the lead-up to Halloween.
