An Intriguing Teaser and Release Date for Netflix’s Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2

If you’re eager to dive back into the world of Castlevania: Nocturne since Netflix‘s latest captivating interpretation of the classic series premiered in 2023, you’re in luck. The much-anticipated second season now has a release date and is set to debut this Thursday, January 16th.

Castlevania: Nocturne, for those who might not be aware, narrates the escapades of Maria Renard and Richter Belmont (a distant descendant of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades, both of whom played significant roles in Netflix’s original Castlevania series), with the storyline unfolding against the historical backdrop of the French Revolution in 1792.

The first season of Castlevania: Nocturne received positive acclaim upon its release in September 2023, concluding with the surprising return of a familiar character. Though a second season was announced shortly after the first, fans have experienced quite a wait for its comeback.

The second season is just days away and is expected to again feature eight episodes. Additionally, Powerhouse is back handling animation duties, while showrunner Clive Bradley and directors Sam and Adam Deats return to oversee the project. If you’re curious about what the team has in store for the next season of Castlevania: Nocturne, there’s a tantalizing glimpse of two minutes and 40 seconds in Netflix’s latest trailer above.

To summarize, Castlevania: Nocturne’s second season premieres this Thursday, January 16th on Netflix. Its launch caps off a particularly vibrant period for a franchise that hasn’t seen a new entry since Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 back in 2014. It has also made an appearance in Dead Cells and showed up in V Rising.
