When Blood of Zeus arrived in 2020, we here at ComicBook.com gave it a perfect score of “5 Out Of 5”. Here’s an excerpt from the review itself, “Like Castlevania and Seis Manos before it, Blood of Zeus delivers on that high-intensity violence and gore that made the other two special. Due to the grandiose nature of the characters and their designs, however, this violence is taken to a fun new level as the scope of the fights have been taken to a new degree with varied monster fights sprinkled in throughout the one on one battles we get throughout. While there can be a few moments of stiffness due to the elaborate character design, nothing is jarring enough to kick you out of the experience entirely.”
Blood of Zeus Season 2 is Done
When it comes to Powerhouse Animation’s resume, the studio has worked on Castlevania, Masters of The Universe: Revelation, and Seis Manos. The production house has also worked in the world of video games, supplying animations for the likes of Sonic Origins, Battle Chasers: Nightwar, and Exit The Gungeon to name a few. In a new social media update, Blood of Zeus confirmed that the second season was now finished, months before it would arrive on Netflix.
If you wanted to learn more about Blood of Zeus, Netflix released an official description of the series that will return to the streaming service on May 15th, “A commoner living in ancient Greece, Heron discovers his true heritage as a son of Zeus, and his purpose: to save the world from a demonic army.”
