“Oh, excuse me for not having 300 years to perfect the art of war.”
“Sarcasm still runs in the Belmont blood, Trevor would be proud.”
Richter Belmont and Alucard are all set to be battle buddies in Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 and Trevor Belmont surely would’ve been proud. Every Castlevania fan (or at least me for sure) was waiting for Alucard to finally appear in the spinoff series of the animated show, and season one “Castlevania: Nocturne” didn’t disappoint! I mean, damn, what a photo finish it was, with Alucard appearing out of nowhere, like Vampire Jesus, and saving the hero in the ninth hour.
Despite all of Castlevania: Nocturne‘s flaws, Alucard’s climactic entry alone reignited expectations and excitement for a second season. And Netflix’s trailer for the season is packed with the action and drama fans would look forward to.
The trailer opens with a somber narration by one of the characters, describing how they were virtually decimated by the evil Erzsebet Bathory’s league of vampires. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, the story follows Erzsebet’s mission to ensure vampires hold the reins of power in the human world. However, with Alucard, the son of Dracula, back on the scene and choosing to side with humans, Richter Belmont, the primary protagonist of Castlevania: Nocturne, finds new hope to defeat the forces of evil.
Apart from all the blood, battles, and monsters, viewers can also look forward to the fun banter between Richter Belmont and Alucard, reminiscent of Alucard’s interactions with Trevor in the original series, which was of the most entertaining aspects of the parent series. The animation, of course, looks fantastic, and while the trailer doesn’t hint at any major new characters, Alucard’s return alone is enough to keep fans excited for the new season, streaming on Netflix from January 16, 2025.
