Netflix's Castlevania 2nd Season Premiers This Summer

The Castlevania animated series' writer and producer Warren Ellis said on Twitter on Friday that the show's eight-episode second season will premiere on Netflix this summer.

The first four-episode season premiered worldwide on Netflix on July 7.

Producer Adi Shankar announced in 2015 that he was working with Fred Seibert and Kevin Kolde of Frederator Studios on an animated mini-series based on Konami's Castlevania game series. In particular, the story is based on the 1989 NES/Famicom game Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. The game is set in 1476, and Dracula has Europe under his grip. Trevor Belmont journeys in an attempt to defeat Dracula, and enlists the sorceress Sypha Belnades, the pirate Grant Danasty, and Dracula's own half-vampire son, Alucard.

I'm pretty sure I read previously that Grant won't be in the series at all. Warren Ellis thought that having a pirate character would be too silly, and would distract from the stories of the other three protagonists.

Anyway, I'm stoked over this news. This series exceeded my expectations, and despite a few issues (the violence was REALLY grisly and occassionally pushed up to the line for me in some cases), it's one of the best shows I've seen in years.

The part in the first post that mentions Grant is talking about the game, not the series.

I was very pleasantly surprised with the first season so I'm looking forwards to this.
