All the latest news from Castle Dracula.

Good old Netflix. If they're not turning '80s movies into telly series, they're transforming iconic '80s videogames into super violent cartoons.
The Castlevania anime, featuring a grief-crazed Dracula taking revenge against humanity for the death of his wife (not a massive spoiler, this all happens in the first half of the first episode) was a huge hit amongst fans, so it's probably no surprise that Netflix has already started discussing season two.
Get all the latest news below, as we strap on our cape to throw a whole bunch of monstrous information at you.
Castlevania Season 2 release date: When is it on?Anime / videogame fans had barely finished their first binge of Castlevania before they were demanding new episodes (to be fair to them, the first season was only four episodes long).
@SamuelDeats fantastic work, I am excited to binge more Castlevania in the future.

Netflix's Castlevania totally demolished my expectations. Holy shit. Stunning animation and a damn good voice cast.

Luckily for them, Netflix didn't keep them in the dark as to their plans for long, almost immediately announcing a new season – which will be double the length of the first.
Good things take time! But eight new episodes coming soon:

As to when it'll land, all Netflix can promise is "soon" – but considering how immediate the season two announcement was, we wouldn't be surprised if it was already mid-production, which means a 2018 premiere could happen.
We're going to predict Halloween 2018, mainly because that would be a lot fun.
Castlevania Season 2 cast: Who's in it?So, just to bring any curious vamp-fans who haven't yet caught the show up to speed, Castlevania is a dark medieval fantasy following the last member of the disgraced Belmont clan, Trevor, who's trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of a pissed off Dracula.
It features Richard Armitage as Trevor Belmont and Graham McTavish as Dracula, and they'll definitely be back for season two.Also due to return, Alejandra Reynoso as the powerfully magic Sypha Belnades and James Callis' Alucard (Dracula's son) – mainly because they're involved in a pretty major cliffhanger in the final episode of season one.
As for new characters, it's hard to predict, but seeing as both Richard Armitage and Graham McTavish both feature in The Hobbit, maybe Luke Evans as another Dracula (he has played him before, after all) isn't too far outside the realms of possibility?
Also, Game of Thrones' very own Robb Stark, Richard Madden, has done voice work on the game – perhaps rewrite his contract so he also has to do the show?
Castlevania Season 2 writer: Warren Ellis
Castlevania was in development hell for a long time – but one thing remained constant, Warren Ellis, the genius comic-book writer turned telly scriptwriter.
First brought to Ellis in 2007, the project has gone through many different iterations – including a straight-to-video animation and a live-action movie, before it landed in Netflix's lap.
Combine the fact that it's taken Ellis a LONG time to get this story to the digital screen, with the fact Netflix gives him more freedom than traditional broadcasters (Castlevania is very sweary, and incredibly violent), you can bet your last garlic necklace that he'll be back for more when Castlevania returns.
One thing we'll be hoping Ellis includes in season two of Castlevania? More Game Of Thrones references!
Castlevania Season 2 length: how many episodes?
Netflix have already confirmed that season two will be eight episodes long, which is great news for fans.
The first season cuts quite nicely into a 94-minute movie, which is how it was originally envisaged.
We wonder if not only will season two be longer in terms of the episode count, but in terms of episode length as well – something that Netflix is traditionally extremely flexible on.
One thing's for sure: we're ready for more gory gothic action, and it looks like we're going to get it. What sweet music (shows) Netflix makes!
Castlevania Season 2 plot: what's going to happen?
SPOILER ALERT, but season one ends with Dracula's son Alucard joining forces with former foe Trevor to take down his dad.
With Sypha part of the gang already, we wonder if season two will go full Avengers Assemble, and bring more heroes into the anti-Drac squad.
We'd like one wolfman, and three Frankensteins please.
