Netflix has announced that the Castlevania Nocturne animated series is getting a second season. Sam and Adam Deats are retaining the director’s seat, and Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation are once again producing.
Season 1 of Castlevania Nocturne made its debut on September 28 with eight episodes. The show is set 300 years after the previous Castlevania series, which ran for four seasons. The plot is described as:
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 shows are inspired by the Konami series of video games, which began with the 1986 action-platformer Castlevania. Richter Belmont was introduced in 1993’s Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
