by

As a dedicated fan who’s been following Castlevania since its humble beginnings, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming Season 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne. It’s been an arduous wait, but with the release date set for January 16, 2025, it seems the wait was worth it!

Fans of “Castlevania” have waited over a year for new content on Netflix, but their wait is nearly over with the arrival of Season 2 of “Castlevania: Nocturne” on January 16, 2025. To celebrate this news, a trailer has been released to build excitement for the upcoming season, and it looks like another fantastic addition to an already impressive anime series, even though it has been somewhat divisive.

As a film enthusiast diving back into the gripping world of “Castlevania”, I’m eagerly anticipating the events unfolding in “Castlevania: Nocturne” as teased in the trailer. This season seems to zero in on Richter and his valiant crew of vampire hunters, who have a new ally in Alucard. Together, they embark on a frantic quest against the clock to thwart Erzsebet Báthory, the Vampire Messiah, before she unleashes an endless night of horror and despair upon the world. The returning cast includes Edward Bluemel (Richter), Pixie Davies (Maria), Thuso Mbedu (Annette), Sydney James Harcourt (Edouard) and the legendary Nastassja Kinski as Tera. To add excitement, James Callis lends his voice to Alucard, who made a dramatic entrance at the end of Season 1 last year.

At present, the critical rating for Castlevania: Nocturne on Rotten Tomatoes stands at an impressive 96%. However, its audience score is significantly lower at 45%, indicating that opinions about this show are quite divided. Unlike the 2017 series, which was generally adored by many, some fans find Nocturne to be “one of the most poorly written entries” in the franchise. On the other hand, Natalie Jameson from Black Girl Nerds praises it as a show that offers “a multitude of intriguing concepts, excellent animation, action-filled drama, and characters you can easily grow fond of.

‘Castlevania: Nocturne’ Season 2 Has Something Big In Store For Fans

Beyond the excitement, one fantastic aspect of Castlevania: Nocturne is its intricate fight scenes. The season finale featured a grand confrontation between Richter and his allies against Drolta and Erzsebet, with unexpected twists and turns throughout, and it seems like Season 2 will raise the stakes even higher.

When asked by Tudum about details regarding Nocturne Season 2, showrunner Kevin Kolde was tight-lipped on many aspects. However, he did give a hint that those craving more action won’t be left unsatisfied: “What I can assure you is that fans can anticipate the most epic and insane Castlevania battle scene yet.

Furthermore, Kolde hinted at the prospect of Annette undergoing further development throughout the series, as she seeks a means to thwart Erzsebet. He emphasized that the solution may be found in Annette’s unique gift of communicating with the spirits who have frequently visited her.

Annette is troubled by these visions and spectral beings, as she seeks to decipher the mystery behind them. If she manages to find the correct approach to interact with them, quieting her mind to hear clearly, she’ll discern that they are attempting to convey to her crucial information about her part in thwarting Erzsebet.

On January 16, 2025, find all eight episodes of the second season of “Castlevania: Nocturne” on Netflix. If you’re new to this series, don’t worry! You can start with Season 1 and even catch up on Seasons 1 to 4 of “Castlevania,” which are also available for streaming.
