"CASTLEVANIA : NOCTURNE SEASON 2" Coming To Netflix This Thursday (TRAILER)
Of all the video game adaptations out there, the Netflix “Castelvania” series is the best. We know, “The Last Of Us” is really good, but “Castlevania” isn’t just an adaptation, it’s a harmonization of decades worth of characters, story lines, and action that somehow is not only cohesive, but wildly entertaining. Anyone familiar with the Castlevania lore knows that it has more twists, turns, and plot holes than every season of “LOST” combined, which is what makes Netflix’s series such an anomaly. It has found a way to appeal to both fans of the games and people who’ve never even heard of them.
The spinoff series, “Nocturne” is kicking off a second season this Thursday, January 16 and we have all the details and an explosive trailer to get you hyped. So grab your Belmont whip and stock some holy water potions as we return to fight vampires and monsters!
From The Press Release
Castlevania: Nocturne rises again.
The fashionable vampires, gnarly night creatures, and hunters who love (to kill) them will return for Season 2 debuting Jan. 16, 2025.
Nocturne creator and showrunner Clive Bradley and showrunner Kevin Kolde, alongside directors Sam and Adam Deats, break down Season 2, chronicling the epic battle between humankind and the vampire aristocrats seeking to rule the world. But this time, the stakes are bigger and bloodier.
“What I can confidently say is in store for the fans is the biggest, craziest Castlevania fight scene ever,” Kolde tells Tudum.
The gothic — or, ahem [adjusts ascot], “New Romantic” style if you want to be precise — drama takes some wild turns throughout Season 2, so check out everything you need to know below, straight from Bradley and Kolde themselves.
What is the plot of Season 2?
While many Season 1 characters return — including Richter (Edward Bluemel), Maria (Pixie Davies), Annette (Thuso Mbedu), Edouard (Sydney James Harcourt), and Tera (Nastassja Kinski) — they’ve undergone great emotional or physical changes after their encounters with the devilishly sophisticated vampire cadre.
In Season 2, Richter and his band of vampire hunters, now joined by Alucard, 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.
Where does Season 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne take place?
Season 2 wanders the French countryside between Machecoul and Paris, but there’s an occasional new location: Egypt. “Alucard’s research into Sekhmet has taken him to an ancient Egyptian temple, and we were flown there a few times,” says Bradley.
Is Castlevania: Nocturne based on a video game?
The Castlevania anime series is part of the Castlevania constellation of video games by the Konami company, including toys, manga, graphic novels, and more. But Nocturne is a stand-alone series that expands on the Castlevania world, loosely based on the 1993 game Blood of Rondo.
