Castlevania: Nocturne: Behind-The-Scenes Look At The Evolution Of Alucard

Castlevania: Nocturne: Check out this exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of Alucard from Castlevania to Nocturne.

Netflix has announced the renewal of CASTLEVANIA: NOCTURNE for a second season, following its debut on September 28th, 2023.

The series, based on the classic Konami video game 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 show is produced by Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation, with Sam Deats and Adam Deats sharing directing duties.

The first season reached Netflix's Top 10 English TV List during the week of October 1 and also reached the Top 10 in 40 countries.

Creator/Showrunner/Writer Clive Bradley and Showrunner Kevin Kolde expressed their gratitude to the fans for their support and excitement to bring more Castlevania: Nocturne and the next chapter in the rise of Richter Belmont.

The second season will continue the story of France, 1792, during the height of the French Revolution, where Richter Belmont, the last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, is sought out by Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, to lead the resistance against the counter-revolutionary aristocracy and their alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah.

The gory and gothic adventures of the Castlevania franchise continue with an exciting new setting and their highest stakes yet. A gripping story of love and loss, Nocturne marks an evolution to the original fan-favorite Castlevania Netflix Series. It features a never-before-seen origin story of Richter Belmont (a gaming icon, and one of the Franchise's most beloved characters). Bandana included.

Led by showrunner Kevin Kolde and Creator/Writer Clive Bradley. Produced by Project 51 Productions with production services provided by Powerhouse Animation.
