TheCastlevaniaseries is written by Warren Ellis and was brought toNetflixby Adi Shankar in 2017. It follows monster hunter Trevor Belmont (Richard Armitage) as he battles the undead forces of the vampire Count Dracula (Graham McTavish) with the help of magician Sypha Belnades (Alejandra Reynoso) and Dracula’s son Alucard (James Callis). Using heavy inspiration from the video game series for its story elements, the show’s artwork is also reminiscent ofCastlevania: Symphony of the Night, one of the most popular installments of the franchise.
By all accounts,Castlevaniaseason 2 ended up even better than the first. Compared to season 1’s 80% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, season 2 was a flawless hit with critics, earning a perfect 100% Fresh score.

The show’s third season will also be the longest yet for the Netflix Original, as the streamer has bumped up the episode count again to make season 3 consist of ten episodes. As the wait between the seasons has been well over a year, it helps to know that the series will be returning with many new episodes in just one month from now. Hopefully theCastlevania theme songwon’t change.
Season 3 ofCastlevaniabegins streaming on Netflix on March 5. In the meantime, the first two seasons can currently be viewed on the streaming service, so those yet to catch up on the series can do so this month ahead ofCastlevania’s return in early March. Since the wait since season 2 has also been a while, it may also not be a bad idea to revisit the first two seasons as well for those who have seen them. After all, both seasons are painfully short and easy to quickly binge. This news comes to us fromNX on Twitter.
