When Netflix<\/a> released Castlevania<\/a> onto the service back in 2017, it made waves throughout both the anime and gaming communities.<\/p>\n

Based on the popular games Castlevania III: Dracula\u2019s Curse and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, the anime was widely acclaimed for its rich visual style, dipping heavily into the gothic overtones of the original games, alongside its willingness to lean into some pretty gnarly violence with a beautiful score as the cherry on top of what was already quite an accomplished vision.<\/p>\n

The show went on to have three equally successful seasons, although it stumbled a little in the final season, generating a somewhat divisive reception based on the pacing as it reached its final episodes.<\/p>\n

However, that hasn\u2019t stopped Netflix from seeing the value in keeping the Castlevania train going, as Castlevania: Nocturne<\/a> is here.<\/p>\n

Read on to understand everything we know about Castlevania: Nocturne, including a potential second season and more.<\/p>\n

Will there be a second season of Castlevania: Nocturne?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is a\u00a0lot\u00a0of ground to cover with the Castlevania games<\/a>. To put things into perspective, the first four seasons of the original show only just about covered the story of the two games that it was based on.<\/p>\n

Seeing as the original Castlevania series was widely acclaimed as one of the best anime projects Netflix had produced in a while, it seems likely that Castlevania: Nocturne should be expected to run for at least a second season<\/strong>, if not more, provided that the Castlevania fanbase can sink its teeth into Nocturne just as easily as it did the original series.<\/p>\n

Billed as the sequel series to Castlevania, Castlevania: Nocturne follows Richter Belmont, a descendent of main protagonists Trevor and Sypha from Castlevania, as he reluctantly teams up with a rag-tag group of misfits during the French Revolution to stop the apocalypse. Never a dull day if you\u2019re a Belmont.<\/p>\n

Nocturne\u2019s story takes from both Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night; somewhat polarising as twins given the former\u2019s critical acclaim and the latter being an initial flop financially, later becoming redefined as a sleeper hit due to its cult popularity.<\/p>\n

When is Castlevania: Nocturne coming out?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The show was initially announced to be in development on Deadline on 16th April 2021, with reports stating that the show would be set during the French Revolution and would feature new characters, rather than continuing with the original troupe from Castlevania.<\/p>\n

Almost a full year later, at Netflix\u2019s 2022 Geeked Week, the title was unveiled as Castlevania: Nocturne.<\/p>\n

Another <\/em>year later, we had the official cast announcement on 27th July 2023, <\/strong>and finally, Castlevania: Nocturne is releasing onto Netflix on 28th <\/strong>September 2023<\/strong>. Here\u2019s the trailer in case you\u2019re wondering if it\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n
