Castlevania: Nocturne season 2 sets the stage for the animated franchise to finally adapt the most acclaimed Castlevania video game, Symphony of the Night.

Castlevania: Nocturne quickly cemented itself as one of the more phenomenal video game adaptations, and this new season makes clear that season 1 was in no way a fluke. A smidge of the surprise is gone, but it continues to play to its already impressive strengths well, and Netflix would be foolish not to bring it back for more.

Castlevania: Nocturne's season 1 was a big disappointment for fans but it looks like season 2 of the series might finally redeem itself.

Netflix is yet to confirm whether Castlevania: Nocturne has been renewed for season 3 or cancelled, with director Samuel Deats telling fans on X that the show was "on hiatus" until the streamer reaches a verdict.

I'm talking about the animated series on Netflix, which found its groove in Season 2 by combining surprisingly articulate conversations between murderous vampires and ruminations on loss and legacy with explosive action sequences.

Castlevania Nocturne Season 2 makes an epic return with another thrilling story and exploration of themes. Throughout the Castlevania series, the metaphor of the knife symbolizes the struggle between power and agency.
