Castlevania: Nocturne

Castlevania: Nocturne is an American adult animated dark fantasy television series created and written by Clive Bradley for Netflix. A sequel to the Castlevania animated series (2017–2021), it is based on the video game series of the same name by Konami and adapted from the game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (1993). The series focuses on Richter Belmont, a descendant of previous protagonists Trevor and Sypha, and is set during the French Revolution. It was produced by Powerhouse Animation Studios and Project 51 Productions with animation services provided by DR Movie.

Castlevania: Nocturne premiered on Netflix on September 28, 2023. In October 2023, the series was renewed for a second season that premiered on January 16, 2025. The series received critical acclaim, with praise for its animation, directing, writing, themes, and voice cast, while its initial pacing and character development drew some criticism.

Set in 1792 during the French Revolution, primarily in the French commune of Machecoul, the series follows the young Vampire hunter Richter Belmont and his adoptive sister Maria Renard as they make new allies and attempt to prevent the apocalyptic rise of a god-like Vampire Messiah.

On April 16, 2022, Deadline reported that Netflix was planning a spin-off series set in the Castlevania universe, following the conclusion of its original animated series, with a new cast of characters. Kevin Kolde and Clive Bradley were announced as the showrunners and executive producers under Kolde's Project 51 Productions banner. Powerhouse Animation was also announced to return as the primary production studio while Sam and Adam Deats would direct episodes from the first season. Animation services were outsourced to South Korean studio DR Movie.

On June 10, 2022, during Netflix's Geeked Week virtual event, it was announced that the series is titled Castlevania: Nocturne. The voice cast of the series was revealed on July 27, 2023.

On October 6, 2023, one week after the release of the first season, Netflix renewed the series for a second season.

Castlevania: Nocturne premiered on Netflix on September 28, 2023. The first three episodes were screened a day early during the Netflix virtual showcase "DROP 01".
