There are going to be some changes in the cast. However, we still do not know who’s playing the role of Richter Belmont. What we know is that the show will feature actors like Sophie Skelton as Julia Belmont, Emily Swallow as Lisa Teppes, Tony Amendola as The Elder, and James Callis as Alucard who’ll be replacing Theo James. Graham McTavish will reprise his role as the enigmatic and charismatic lord of shadows, Dracula.
