Castlevania Season 2: 10 Reasons To Be Excited
9. Season 3
Not even into the premiere of season 2, and already the hype train for season 3 has left the station, with the success of the first season and palpable excitement for the second. The hype primarily sprung from Richard Armitage, known for his role as the Dwarf King Thorin in The Hobbit trilogy, starring as the drunk reluctant hero of Castlevania, Trevor Belmont, revealing to Digital Spy in early July that they already had plans to record lines for a new season.
This isn't surprising, given the success of the first four episodes. Season 2 was greenlit on the day Season 1 dropped, likely banking on the positive response to previews and the premiere's viewership. This is good news for fans of the decades-old video game franchise, the decade-long slump finally culminating in a quality series that hit the ground running and hasn't stopped yet.
Like Voltron, another of Netflix's original animated properties, Castlevania will hopefully have a good, long run ahead of it, with its adult content and smart writing making new fans and satisfying the old.
