Castlevania

Anyone so inclined has already breezed through Netflix’s animated Castlevania, but they won’t have to stop there. The Adi Shankar-produced series is confirmed to return for Season 2, and won’t go so quietly into the night.

Boy, that Adi Shankar sure doesn’t waste time. Just weeks after we saw an official voice cast and trailer for an animated Netflix Castlevania, the director announces work on another video game project, that of an anime Assassin’s Creed TV series.

Leave it to Netflix’s Castlevania to show us a trailer before announcing a voice cast, but the talent assembled by executive producer Adi Shankar is finally unmasked. See what familiar Preacher baddie voices Dracula, along with Battlestar, Hannibal alum and more!

Netflix has been curiously quiet about its animated Castlevania series, leaving most of the promotion to executive producer Adi Shankar. Now, even the first trailer has come from an unlikely source, in the process confirming a July premiere.

At the time Netflix first confirmed an animated Castlevania series on its roster, it was a fair question how the animated venture might handle the video game franchise’s gorier elements. Well, if the first official poster is any indication, things are going to get real red, real fast.

It was just over a month ago that the Castlevania video game series was reported to finally spawn an animated series, as helmed by Adventure Time executive producer Fred Seibert. Now, Netflix appears to confirm a Castlevania series on its roster, which may debut as early as this year.

The Castlevania video game series has long been rumored for one adaptation of another, so might an animated series finally be getting off the ground? That’s the rumor du jour, as reports suggest Adventure Time executive producer Fred Seibert is gearing up to announce a new take on the vampire property.
