Has Castlevania: Nocturne been renewed for Season 3? Here’s what we know:

Renewed Or Cancelled?

The Netflix animated series Castlevania: Nocturne serves as an extension of the immensely successful fantasy series Castlevania, which boasts a richly developed narrative encompassing various video games as well as comic book iterations.

If you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:


What is Castlevania: Nocturne about?

Castlevania: Nocturne is focused on delivering explosive action, and whether it be an opening sequence involving Alucard, a skirmish in the heart of a battlefield or the climactic fight itself (which is spread across two episodes), there’s a lot of good stuff in this.

The story essentially centers on Alucard and the gang heading off to Paris in order to find a MacGuffin to stop the end of the world. This MacGuffin comes in the form of Sekhmet’s mummy, with the Goddess of War unleashed and possessing the body of Erzsebet, who happens to be our main antagonist. However, she’s joined by her loyal companion, Drolta, and this pairing certainly causes big trouble.

We have extensive coverage of Castlevania: Nocturne across the site, including a review of season 1 and episode recaps.


Has Castlevania: Nocturne been renewed for season 3?

At the time of writing, Castlevania: Nocturne has not been renewed for season 3. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.

With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made. So far, Castlevania: Nocturne has had a pretty good reaction online from critics and audiences alike, with many pointing out the dramatic tone and how thrilling this one is. However, the story is also quite tropey and nowhere near the same quality as the original Castlevania show.

Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we’re predicting that this will be renewed for a third season. Netflix are very hot on their Completion Rate metrics and given how action-packed this second season is, the likelihood is that a lot of people will blast through this and bump up the numbers.

Furthermore, we do know that the show’s creators and animators have gone on hiatus for a while until they hear word of a renewal from Netflix, so the likelihood is that we won’t get a third season for quite a while should this be renewed.

However, we’ll keep you updated as and when we get confirmation from Netflix.


What we know about season 3 so far:

 

Barely anything is known about Castlevania: Nocturne season 3 at this point. The ending certainly opens the door up for a sequel, with Maria still grappling with the darkness consuming her.

Furthermore, we have the intriguing changed setting of Africa to work with, paving way for potentially more Egyptian mythology or even more African folklore tales, like Anansi and Nana Buluku coming to the foreground. There’s certainly a lot of potential for heroes and villains to work with here!

However, for now this is all speculation and we’ll have to wait and see what Netflix have in store for us, should this be renewed. Either way, we’ll be sure to update this page when more information becomes available.
