This Netflix series largely seems to be about setting up a bigger and more consequential second season.
When Netflix first released Castlevania, it brought to life a beloved video game franchise with stunning animation and a star-studded voice cast. It was a slick series that capitalized on the fantastical nature of the game without sacrificing any of the grimdark themes due to the medium. After a successful four-season run, it only made sense for Netflix to build on the success and continue with Castlevania: Nocturne.
'Castlevania: Nocturne' Reimagines Its Characters For the Better Nocturne is working with more recognizable franchise faces like Richter, Annette, and Olrox , but the series isn't afraid to rework some of the characters. It's not easy for Richter to fill the shoes of Trevor Belmont , who was a bit more roguish and charmingly sardonic. While Bluemel does a good job with the new character, it's hard to match up to Armitage's tone and timbre.
Annette has the most interesting development as the show follows her escape from her vampire masters, her friendship with Edouard, and the eventual tragedy that strikes when the two of them arrive in France. Similarly, Edouard's journey adds complexity and layers to a character who was initially little more than a sidekick at best. His relationship with Annette and his character arc is one of the most compelling and offers something new to the mythology of the series.
The most interesting villain is also the one that we see the least of. The vampire messiah, a figure that the vampires tout as their savior, is mentioned throughout the season, but Erzebet Báthory only really makes her appearance toward the end of the series. Anyone who knows the story of the real-life Erzebet, better known to English speakers as Elizabeth Bathory, will know she's a fantastic substitute for Dracula's absence in this series.
