What is Castlevania: Nocturne (TV) About?
Castlevania: Nocturne is an American adult animated series that artfully blends dark fantasy themes with heart-pounding action. As a sequel to the successful Castlevania animated series, Nocturne continues the legacy of the Belmont family through the character of Richter Belmont amid the turbulence of the French Revolution in 1792. The show is anchored by the intense struggles between the rising lower classes seeking equality and the insidious vampires that capitalise on societal chaos. Created and written by Clive Bradley, with Kevin Kolde's production leadership, this series stands on the foundation laid by its predecessors with a strong narrative influence from the 1993 video game 'Castlevania: Rondo of Blood' and its sequel 'Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'. The ominous yet thrilling atmosphere is brought to life by an impressive voice cast that includes Edward Bluemel, Thuso Mbedu, and Iain Glen, among others. Castlevania: Nocturne differentiates itself from the original animated series by introducing fresh characters and story arcs while retaining the core values of heroic struggle against otherworldly evil, making it both a homage to and an evolution of the Castlevania saga.
The first episode of Castlevania: Nocturne aired on September 28, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on September 28, 2023.
