We’re getting the first look at Season 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne, the latest installment of the Castlevania universe. Netflix released a teaser trailer for the upcoming season of the animated series and revealed Season 2 will premiere in January 2025.
Based on the classic Konami video game series, Castlevania: Nocturne picks up 300 years after the end of the original series, which ran for four seasons on Netflix.
Season 1 took place in France in 1792 — the height of the French Revolution. Here’s the synopsis: 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.
In Season 2 , now joined by the legendary Alucard, Richter Belmont and his band of vampire hunters are in a desperate race against time. Erzsebet Báthory, the Vampire Messiah, who already seems invincible, seeks the full power of the goddess Sekhmet so she can plunge the world into endless darkness and terror.
“I could use your help, Richter,” says Alucard at the beginning of the teaser. “You’re a Belmont after all.”
Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation produce the series for Netflix. Sam Deats and Adam Deats again will share directing duties in Season 2.
