Castlevania: Nocturne season 2 is coming in January

We’re still a little ways out from the season 2 premiere of Castlevania: Nocturne, but after months of waiting, Netflix has shared a general window for the show’s return.

Ahead of Geeked Week 2024, Netflix has dropped a new Castlevania: Nocturne trailer teasing how Richter Belmont (Edward Bluemel), Annette (Thuso Mbedu), Maria (Pixie Davies), and Alucard (James Callis) will continue their war against vampire queen Erzsebet Báthory (Franka Potente). The teaser’s shots of Nocturne’s heroes make it seem like season 2 will see them being haunted by memories of all they’ve lost. But the brief flashes of a cross engulfed in pink flames also feels like it could be a nod to the show bringing back certain characters like Drolta Tzuentes (Elarica Johnson).

The teaser makes clear that as bleak as things have gotten for Richter and his allies, they still intend to slash down any monsters that cross their paths. And while Netflix hasn’t given the season an exact premiere date, we now know the show will return in January 2025.
