Netflix’s Castlevania Universe is expanding with a new animated series, and now we have gotten the first real look at what to expect from the new series with the first trailer for Castlevania: Nocturne! When the fourth season of the Castlevania animated series brought Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades’ story to an end with its final episode, fans had no idea what could be coming next. Thankfully it was quickly confirmed that a new Castlevania series was in the works that would jump time forward and follow their child, Richter Belmont, during some of the biggest entries from the original Castlevania games.

As for what to expect from the next series in the Castlevania Universe, Netflix teases Castlevania: Nocturne as such, “France, 1792 – the height of the French Revolution. In a remote part of western France, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy has forged an alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to ‘eat the sun’ and unleash an army of vampires and nightcreatures to crush the revolution and enslave humanity. Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, seeks out Richter Belmont, last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.”
