Netflix Resurrects ‘Castlevania: Nocturne’ with New S2 Trailer & Launch Date

Netflix today unveiled the official trailer and premiere date for Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2. The bloody new batch of eight 25-minute episodes will arrive on streaming on January 16, 2025, picking up on the chaotic new twist on the French Revolution which introduces a sinister vampire element to the fracas.

“When [series creator Clive Bradley] originally was talking about setting the story in the Revolution, the thing that resonated with me [was]: This is where vampires would be,” co-showrunner Kevin Kolde told TUDUM. “They’re parasites. They live off of other people.”

S2 Logline: Now joined by the legendary Alucard, Richter Belmont and his band of vampire hunters are in a desperate race against time. Erzsebet Báthory, the Vampire Messiah, who already seems invincible, seeks the full power of the goddess Sekhmet so she can plunge the world into endless darkness and terror.

The voice cast features Edward Bluemel (Persuasion, The Commuter) as Richter, Pixie Davies (The Magician’s Elephant, Mary Poppins Returns) as Maria, Thuso Mbedu (The Woman King, The Underground Railroad) as Annette, Sydney James Harcourt (I’m Not Gay: A Musical, Hamilton) as Edouard, Nastassja Kinski (Inland Empire, Cat People) as Tera, Zahn McClarnon (Reservation Dogs, Fargo) as Olrox, Franka Potente (Run Lola Run, The Bourne Identity) as Erzsebet Báthory, James Callis, Richard Dormer, Iain Glen, Elarica Johnson and Aaron Neil.

Castlevania: Nocturne is a standalone series inspired by the world of Netflix’s Castlevania anime series, which in turn is based on the media franchise created by video game developer Konami.

The series is created by Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award winner Clive Bradley (Castlevania, Trapped, That Summer Day), who serves as showrunner alongside Emmy-winning executive producer Kevin Kolde (Castlevania, Adventure Time, Johnny Test). Executive producers are Bradley, Kolde, Adam Deats, Sam Deats, Fred Seibert and Adi Shankar.
