The 3 Brides of Dracula have been cast!!

ABC’s The Brides have found their 3 Brides of Dracula. Gina Torres will be playing the bride named Cleo Phillips. The leader of the trio, Cleo is “an imperious woman with a queenly manner, she was a queen in her former life who was turned by Dracula after the death of her husband. Now a maven of New York City real estate, Cleo is challenged professionally by a mysterious newcomer — even as her ties to her sisters are dangerously fraying.”

Katherine Reis is the youngest bride, Lily Stevens. “Lily is a striving singer in New York City whose relationship to a news reporter threatens to tear apart her marriage to her ‘sisters.’ In her former life, she braved the streets of Jack the Ripper’s London, until being ‘rescued’ by Dracula.”

Erin Richards of Gotham has signed on to play Renee Pelagie, “the head of a top modeling agency in New York City, known for her torrid affairs with her beautiful female models. In her former life, she was the wife of the Marquis de Sade when she invited Dracula into her ‘house of pain’ and asked to be ‘turned’ by him.”

Goran Visnjic will be playing Dracula, who is “left for dead at his destroyed castle in the Carpathian mountains while his three wives, Cleo, Renée, and Lily, flee to start a new life together.”
