I’m watching the series right now, and it’s freaking awesome! I love what they’re doing with this show and the story they’re telling. The creative team is doing great things with this franchise!
Showrunners Clive Bradley and Kevin Kolde said in a statement: “Thank you to all Castlevania fans new and old for the overwhelming response and support! We’re excited to bring you more Castlevania: Nocturne and the next chapter in the rise of Richter Belmont.”

In the series, “The gothic and gory adventures of the Castlevania franchise continue with an exciting new setting and the highest stakes ever. A gripping story of love and loss, Nocturne marks an evolution from the fan-favorite Netflix series Castlevania. It features a never-before-seen origin story of Richter Belmont (gaming icon and one of the franchise’s most beloved characters).”
The series is set hundreds of years after the events of the first series and follows the character of Richter, “a descendant of the Belmont family, popularized in the iconic Symphony of Night and Blood of Rondo Castlevania games.”

Richter will be joined by Maria Renard, another familiar character from the games. She is a powerful magic user with her distant connection to Belmont’s legacy. She appeared alongside Richter as a young girl in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
