It might have taken the animated adaptation of the classic video game Castlevania more than a decade to reach screens, but the first season of the show was highly acclaimed when it hit Netflix last year. The only real complaint fans had was that Castlevania Season 1 was far too short--just four episodes--but luckily, a longer Season 2 was greenlit soon after its release. Netflix has now revealed when the next season will be with us.

　　As announced during the Netflix panel at Anime Expo 2018, Castlevania Season 2 will arrive on October 26. The season will run for eight episodes and will be released by Netflix in its entirety. The season is once more written by acclaimed comic book writer Warren Ellis, with Richard Armitage returning as monster hunter Trevor Belmont. Although the show is produced in the US, it is heavily influenced by anime, and takes much of its visual inspiration from Konami's classic 1997 game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
