One of the better video game adaptations in recent years has been that of Castlevania, a Netflix show that adapts the popular vampire-slaying action series to an anime format. Though the initial season was quite short, it hit all the right beats that it needed to, and got plenty of fans excited for what would be coming next. We’ve known about season two for quite a while now, but Netflix has finally given it a release date.
The official “Mr. Belmont” Twitter account just revealed that the new season goes live on 26th October, and will be featuring eight episodes. Bear in mind, too, that this won’t be the end of the show; the voice actor for Trevor confirmed that recording is already underway for the next season. Now, the wait begins, but hopefully there’ll be some Castlevania news to report for the Switch sometime in the near future.
What do you think? Will you be watching this? Do you think Konami will bring Castlevania to the Switch? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Loved the first season so I can't wait for more. It's one of the few examples of a video game franchise making the leap to an animated show that actually works
I still need to watch the first one. I guess I should do that.
Also why is this listed as Wii Virtual Console? XD
Just amazing!
Liking the blue but why is it under the wii virtual console banner. Nothing else to put it in I guess.
Anyways, I still haven't watched the first season. Is it worth a watch?
@Executer66 Castlevania fans love it.
Also I know people who do not know anything about the franchise but still loved the first season.
Is this Nintendo life ?
@Executer66 - I loved it. It was unfeasibly short, but captured the tone completely, didn't skimp on the gore and rattled along at a fair old pace. Thoroughly looking forward to the second batch of episodes.
I thought it was really weak. Typically ugly Western faux-anime style, low budget, and very little to do with Castlevania. Voice cast was okay, but even fake anime feels wrong when it isn't in Japanese.
Very weird that it was lacking any Castlevania music too. Such a missed opportunity.
@ramu-chan I actually watched it with Japanese audio thinking it's animated in Japan. For fake anime they did a really good job.
Shame about the music though.
Bloody Tears, Vampire Killer and Aquarius would've made it even better!
Bout time!!!
Can't wait!!!
Season 1, in my opinion, started off slow. In the end, however, it won me over.
That Trevor vs. Alucard fight scene was so awesome!!!
Is this the UK release date? People forget that different things are released at different times depending on your region.
I liked the first series, might have to go back to it as, of what I remember of it, I was a little dissapointed, and it kinda just ended. Not even on a very good cliff hanger.
What a terrible night for a curse!
About freaking time! Seasons 1 was awesome!
Good. I'll rewatch season 1 just before it airs then
Now we just need Stranger Things season 3 to drop on Netflix around the same time and this will be one AWESOME Halloween!!!!
What's with these 8 eps and 10 eps seasons? Can't we get like 12 or 13 at a time?
I wanted to watch it for the summer. Oh, well.
