Sophia Tatum (I Am Not Okay with This, Salt) fields the series-regular role of Justine Strang. “Completely friendless and new to town, Justine shows up at the studio of Renée Pélagie (not yet cast), a top modeling agent in New York City — and the ‘middle’ bride of Dracula.

Chris Mason (Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, Broadchurch) will play Roland Grant. “Described as a stylish real estate mogul, he arrives in town to challenge Cleo (Torres) — the ‘Queen of New York City real estate,’ and the leader of the brides of Dracula — for professional supremacy.

Gina Torres (Suits, Firefly) plays Cleo Phillips. “One of the three Brides of Dracula and the leader of this vampire trio, Cleo is an imperious woman with a queenly manner —understandably, as she was a queen in her former life who was turned by Dracula after the death of her husband.
