Fans of the horror genre and vampire themed classics must have relished the arrival of the horror comedy, Renfield. Having debuted in theaters earlier this year to a bit of a lackluster showing, a recent report from Deadline has revealed that Universal Pictures has set June 9th as the streaming release date for the horror comedy on Peacock.
Having premiered on April 14, the announcement of a streaming release date comes hot on the heels of a digital and VOD release that began on May 2. The horror comedy will also be released on Blu-ray & DVD in June as well. Starring Nicolas Cage as the iconic vampire himself, Count Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his titular lackey, Renfield who is always available at his beck and call, the picture had been expected to perform better than it did.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Renfield is based on Bram Stoker’s iconic 1897 novel, Dracula as many of the classic vampire films centered around this narcissistic character are. Directed by Chris McKay, the film follows the tale of Renfield who has been serving Dracula for centuries by procuring whatever he desires and doing his every bidding, no matter how degrading.
Modern audiences are set to have a further taste of the legendary vampire when on August 11, Universal releases the latest portrayal of the character in The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Having only just wrapped filming recently, Robert Eggers’ long-awaited re-imagination of the movie Nosferatu is waiting in the wings to bring fangs back to our screens once more. The film will see Hoult return to the Dracula universe once more alongside Bill Skarsgård and Lily-Rose Depp.
