Castlevania Season 3 Confirmed

Netflix’s Castlevania series has turned out to be the shining light of video game adaptations. While the history of bad video game movies and TV shows is long and regrettable, Castlevania has proved that it can be done. You can successfully (and faithfully) adapt a video game into another medium without sacrificing what made the story and the characters in the first place. 

The streaming service didn’t waste any time renewing the series for a second, 8-episode season, which will drop sometime this summer — and it’s now been revealed that Castlevania will also return for a third season. The news was revealed by Richard Armitage, the actor who voices main protagonist Trevor Belmont. 

“We’re about to record a third,” Armitage told Digital Spy. “The second season hasn’t been aired yet, but we’re about to do a third.”

Armitage didn’t share much more about the third season, but he did hint at what fans should expect from the show’s second season, specifically how Trevor and Alucard’s relationship might play out. 

“The son of Dracula [Adrian Tepes, voiced by James Callis] and my character get much more collaborative,” Armitage said. “I think that’s one of the most exciting things, they start to really work together.”

Indeed, Trevor and Alucard’s first meeting is a bit turbulent. After all, Trevor is a member of a long line of vampire hunters and Alucard is a vampire, but they’re both driven by a common goal: to stop Dracula from unleashing a reign of terror upon the world. Whether they’ll be successful or not remains to be seen.
