Retro TV Original Series ‘Dracula’s Kung Fu Theatre’ Renewed for Season 3

Diginet Retro TV has renewed its original series Dracula’s Kung Fu Theatre for a third season.

The show, described as “Elvira meets Enter the Dragon,” first aired on Aug. 13, 2021, and stars Dracula along with his group of Transylvanian misfits from his castle studio, as he shares his immortal collection of VHS Kung Fu films. The series, produced by Get After It Media, is the first original show for Retro TV.

One fan the series was excited to learn about was Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul), who shared his love for the show during a recent interview on the Scriptnotes podcast, hosted by John August and Craig Mazin. Gilligan said: “And I love this show so damn much I can’t even tell you … it is so fun, and it is so charming, and it is so witty….”

“The feedback we’ve gotten from fans of the show is a testament to not only the love of kung fu films but overall fun,” says Retro TV President Joel Wertman. “We are thrilled that the audience has embraced the show the way they have. On top of that, knowing that we have a fan in an amazing creator like Vince Gilligan furthers the drive to keep putting time and effort into this series.”

Season 3 will see films from the Wu Tang Collection including Dragon’s Claws, Mantis Fists and Tiger Claws of Shaolin, along with Dragon vs. Needles of Death, Chinese Hercules, and Drunken Master, one of Jackie Chan’s first leading roles, to name a few.
