Netflix has released a new announcement trailer for the upcoming second season of Castlevania: Nocturne, which confirmed the series’ return in January 2025. The announcement was made during Netflix’s week-long Geeked Week event.
The second season will follow Richter Belmont and his band of vampire hunters, who are now joined by Alucard. The group prepares to face the invincible Vampire Messiah Erzsebet Báthory, who seeks the full power of the goddess Sekhmet to plunge the world into endless darkness and terror.
Sam and Adam Deats are returning to direct the series, with Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation once again handling the animation production. Clive Bradley and Kevin Kolde are serving as the series showrunners and executive producers for the series. Fred Seibert and Adi Shankar are also credited as executive producers.
The first season of Castlevania Nocturne was released on September 28, 2023 with eight total episodes. The show is set 300 years after the previous Castlevania series, which ran for four seasons between 2017 to 2021. It was produced by Frederator Studios, with Powerhouse Animation Studios serving as the animation production company.
The Castlevania animated series is inspired by the Konami series of video games, which began with the 1986 action-platformer Castlevania. Nocturne’s protagonist, Richter Belmont, was introduced in 1993’s Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
Netflix describes the synopsis of Castlevania: Nocturne 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.
