The highly anticipated Dracula series from Sherlock creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss announced several new cast members as production ramps up.

Danish actor Claes Bang was cast as the titular vampire late last year. And considering the fact that Moffat and Gatiss helped make an international superstar out of their last largely unknown leading man – Benedict Cumberbatch – we should probably all start working on pronouncing “Claes” correctly. (It’s CLAY-SS, by the way.)

He’ll be joined in Translyvania by several recognizable faces. Sherlock’s Jonathan Aris, Iron Fist’s Sacha Dhawan, former Bond girl Catherine Schell, Game of Thrones’ Clive Russell, Misfits’ Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Nightflyers’ Youssef Kerkour have all joined the cast, though their specific roles are yet unknown. And Gatiss himself will apparently also appear in the series in some capacity.
