The Castlevania franchise returned to Netflix with brand new animated series “Castlevania: Nocturne” last month, and we’ve learned that a second season is coming soon.
In its first five days, the video game adaptation reached Netflix’s Top 10 English TV List during the week of October 1. It also reached the Top 10 in 40 countries.
Due to that success, “Castlevania: Nocturne” Season 2 has been ordered by Netflix.
Creator/Showrunner/Writer Clive Bradley and Showrunner Kevin Kolde said in a statement, “Thanks to all of the Castlevania fans old and new for the amazing response and support!
“We are excited to be able to bring you more Castlevania: Nocturne and the next chapter in the rise of Richter Belmont.”
Sam Deats and Adam Deats will once again share directing duties. Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation will continue to produce for Netflix.
The series is the next installment of the “Castlevania” universe, picking up 300 years after the end of the original “Castlevania” series, which ran for four seasons on Netflix.
The series is based on the classic Konami video game series.
Here’s the official Season 1 synopsis…
“France, 1792 – the height of the French Revolution. In a remote part of western France, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy has forged an alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to ‘eat the sun’ and unleash an army of vampires and creatures to crush the revolution and enslave humanity. Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, seeks out Richter Belmont, last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.”
