Castlevania is finally getting its own animated series. The story of the Belmont family of vampire hunters will come to Netflix from the minds of producer Adi Shankar and writer Warren Ellis.
Konami's action-platformer video game series first arrived in 1986 for the Nintendo Entertainment Series, and has since expanded to over 30 titles, including Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, and Lords of Shadow. With over 30 years of hunting down Dracula, it was only a matter of time before the Belmonts made their way to television.
Here's everything we know about the series:
Netflix Castlevania Latest News
Netflix has revealed the principal cast of voice actors for their upcoming Castlevania animated series. The cast is highlighted by the contributions of Richard Armitage (perhaps best known for his work in the TV series Hannibal) will be playing Trevor Belmont while Graham McTavish (who plays the Saint of Killers on AMC's Preacher TV series) will be playing Dracula.
Rounding out the cast will be voice actors Matt Frewer, Tony Amendola, Emily Swallow, and Alejandra Reynoso. For the full breakdown of the known voice actors so far, be sure to check out the official video announcement below:
Netflix Castlevania Release Date
Castlevania will premiere on July 7, 2017 on Netflix.
Netflix Castlevania Story
According to Netflix's official description of the show (via IGN), the Castlevania animated series follows "the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself."
Furthermore, the plot will be a rough adaptation of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which makes sense given how deeply that game tapped into the Castlevania mythology. Dracula's Curse told the story of Trevor Belmont and his mission to slay Dracule once more in 1400s Europe. fought to stop Dracula from ravaging Europe in the 1400's. This was also the game that introduced Alucard, Dracula's son.
Netflix Castlevania Details
The show is being helmed by producer Adi Shankar - creator of this Power Rangers short - and written by comic book scribe Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan). Shankar told IGN that Ellis "added so much depth to the material."
An old Facebook post from Shankar also suggests that it could be a "super violent" and "satirical" take on the vampire sub-genre. A recent update from Shankar to IGN, portrays the show in a different light. He describes the show as "Castlevania done in the vein of Game of Thrones." That means that the show will be, in Shankar's words, "R-rated as fuck" and "the best fucking video game adaptation we've had to date."
Frederator Studios, makers of Adventure Time, are behind the animation. The studio had previously stated that they were working on "a project right now that we’re doing that needs to go unnamed, based on one of the most world-famous video games of the last 30 years, that we’ve had in our shop for 12 years without being able to get it started."
To say that this news is unexpected would be quite the understatement. There had been no concrete indication that Konami was even considering such a program much less that they were thinking about releasing it via Netflix.
Specifics aside, the fact that there will soon be a Castlevania show to binge watch is exciting enough on its own. While we'd be lying if we said that this is how we expected Konami to return the franchise to prominence, it's encouraging to know that they still have plans for some of their beloved franchises that don't involve slot machines.
Netflix Castlevania Poster
Castlevania exec producer Adi Shankar has dropped the first official bit of art from the upcoming series in the form of an awesome poster:
That's indeed none other than Dracula's castle, the one that's appeared in countless Castlevania games since 1986. It looks better (creepier) than ever in this poster. Can't wait to see what this show is all about!

Bump... bump bump... it's almost time

SHit was Fucking legit but gawd damn... I didn't know this was just four episodes. I knew they split up the first season but I was somehow thinking this was going to be Six episodes.
Side note the voice acting was great in this... especially the voice of Trevor Belmont.

Second season doesn't drop until 2018....
You have got to be shitting me...

Ugh
Yeah dude... the episodes were great but gawd damn it... there were only 4. So basically right when things are looking like shits about to get real.. season finale.
But don't overlook it though... the animation, action, voice acting and story are top notch.
The first epsiode really allows you to see Draculas motivation. He doesn't start off as pure evil.
Bullshit. First Underworld, I Frankenstein, Interview W/a Vampire, I Am Legend, Blade, Dracula Untold, etc... all worked GREAT visually. This could have been awesome on a decent Netflix budget.
I'll start tonight, thanks for the update
A tv show isn't getting a movie budget unless it's name is Game of Thrones. Castlevania is full of demons, werewolves, ghosts and ghouls... you just can't have him fighting Dracula. He has to be fighting 10 ft tall monsters to feel like Castlevania. Animated version is better for this material.... Unless you turned this into a feature film. Hopefully if this show becomes a success then Hollywood would take notice and turn this into a legit movie.
But on the real... I'd rather have an animated show that retains the spirit of Castlevania over some rush job crappy CGI movie like I Frankenstein or Dracula untold.

You can knock it out in about 2 hours... I'm actually watching it again.
Netflix has to diversify their product offering. By producing an original anime, they become a destination in the mind of anime heads. They're trying to blow out their segmentation across the board. A live-action version of a classic video game wouldn't be as impactful as an animated version of a classic video game. You get the young and old heads in one fell swoop, while making a mark in the world of anime.
Preach... same thing they did with Voltron and now Voltron is a huge hit for them.
Felt like a split up movie. It was good though.
Renewed for 8 episodes in season 2

I almost kind of wish they waited until next year to drop the full 13 episodes. I get that they wanted to surprise the fans and they did... I didn't expect this but now I need fucking more. This just felt like a tease.
I'm going to need Netflix to go on and renew this for a 13 episodes 3rd season.

Shit is fucking painful... I just needed 2 more episodes.. i would have been good.
After episode 4 the shit went to a commercial for another show. I thought I hit a button by mistake. Then I saw there are only 4 episodes. WTF!
And we all know how video game live action movies turn out...
Kewl I'll check for it.
Will check.
They did a great job,but dayum I didn't expect it to have four episodes ....They should of made each episode 45 minutes,if they knew they was going to have four episodes though.I thought that's what they was going to do in the first place.
I'm looking forward to season 2
