Morgana actress Katie McGrath has been cast in Sky’s lavish new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

The former Merlin star will play Lucy Westenra, aristocratic London’s sexy, social butterfly who has a penchant for gossip, flirting and all things glamorous. A best friend to Dracula’s muse, Mina Murray (played by Jessica De Gouw), Lucy gradually becomes entwined in a web of lies, lust and temptation that challenges the boundaries of their relationship.

The ten episode series stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Game of Thrones guest star Nonso Anozie has been cast as R.M. Renfield, Alan Grayson (aka Dracula’s) fiercely loyal confidante.  Renfield is the keeper of Dracula’s deepest and darkest secrets and the stabilizing force that allows his two personas to successfully coexist.

The series will be seen on Sky Living later this year.
