Conde Vrolok

Conde Vrolok (Count Vrolok; "vampire" in Slovak) is a telenovela produced and broadcast by Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) in 2009, succeeding ¿Dónde está Elisa? Recording began on 11 August and the first episode aired on 3 November of that year. With an average rating of 44.2 points, between 10:38 and 11:16, and a peak of 54, it became the most successful debut of a TV series in the TVN night slot, which can be largely attributed to the popularity of the aforementioned telenovela which it replaced.

The production – created by Rodrigo and Felipe Ossandón, with Jorge Ayala – is the first vampire telenovela made in Chile, and began shooting at Las Majadas Palace in Pirque. The scripts were written by Pablo Illanes, Nona Fernández, Francisca Bernardi, and Juan Pablo Olave, and its first promotional spot was aired on 6 October 2009 during the nightly series ¿Dónde está Elisa?

It stars Álvaro Rudolphy and Francisca Lewin, with supporting performances by Claudia Di Girólamo, Francisco Reyes, Marcelo Alonso, Luz Valdivieso, and Matías Oviedo, and with a special appearance by Bastián Bodenhöfer.

Towards the end of its run its ratings had dropped significantly; its average (at the end of May 2010, counting from its debut) had been 20.3 points, but in the last two weeks of that month it dipped to 18 points, "a situation very different from what happened with its predecessor, that in its final stage averaged 40 rating points."
