Netflix began streaming a video on Friday that announces that Castlevania: Nocturne, the spinoff series of Frederator Studios' Castlevania animated show, is getting a second season:
The new series stars Richter Belmont (a descendant of the original show's protagonists Sypha and Trevor) and Maria Renard. The series is set in France during the French Revolution in 1792. Netflix teases that the series is a "never before seen origin story" for Richter.
Richter and Maria are protagonists in the Castlevania: Rondo of Blood game, and they also appear in other games in the series including Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

A vampire hunter fights to save a besieged city from an army of otherworldly beasts controlled by Dracula himself. Inspired by the classic video games.
