Last year’s first season of executive producer Adi Shankar’s animated Konami game franchise-inspired anime adaptation of Castlevania was a hit. Eight more episodes are now in tow premiering October 26 and continuing the saga of the last son of the Belmont household, joined by a young mage and a vengeful half-human vampire on a quest to stop Dracula from reigning in armageddon on mankind.
Returning to Netflix for a second season, Castlevania, inspired by the classic videogame series, is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepes himself. Trevor Belmont, last survivor of his house, is no longer alone, and he and his misfit comrades race to find a way to save humanity from extinction at the hands of the grief-maddened Dracula and his sinister vampire war council.
The official trailer above arrived following events at Asia Pop Comic-Con in Manila.
Richard Armitage will reprise as Trevor Belmont along with Alejandra Reynoso as Sypha Belnades, James Callis as Alucard and Graham McTavish as the incorrigible and evil Dracula. Sam Deats returns as director from a script by executive producer Warren Ellis, and with Fred Seibert and Kevin Kolde also executive producing.
