The first season of Castlevania: Nocturne premiered on Netflix last Thursday, September 28, and quickly made its way to the Top 10 English TV list. The talented studios Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation are returning to produce Season 2, with directors Sam Deats and Adam Deats also making a comeback.
What is Castlevania: Nocturne about?
Castlevania: Nocturne draws inspiration from Konami’s popular Castlevania video games, specifically Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. This animated series serves as a spin-off and stand-alone sequel to Netflix’s original Castlevania series, which ran for four seasons from 2017 to 2021. Set 300 years after the events of its predecessor, Nocturne follows the story of Richter Belmont, a direct descendant of the legendary vampire hunter Trevor Belmont.
The official logline for Season 1 of Nocturne sets the stage: “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 nightcreatures 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.”
The talented voice cast includes Edward Bluemel as Richter Belmont, Pixie Davies as Maria Renard, Thuso Mbedu as Annette, Nastassja Kinski as Tera Renard, Sydney James Harcourt as Edouard, Richard Dormer as the Abbot Emmanuel, Aaron Neil as Mizrak, Franka Potente as Erzsebet Báthory/Sekhmet, Elarica Johnson as Drolta Tzuentes, Sophie Skelton as Julia Belmont, and Iain Glen as Juste Belmont. James Callis also reprises his role as Alucard from the previous Castlevania series.
You can currently stream Season 1 of Castlevania: Nocturne on Netflix, and while Season 2 doesn’t have a release date yet, the anticipation is already building.
