The first season began by telling the stories of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES), in a fifteenth century marked by the struggle between Trevor Belmont and the forces of evil. Without going into plot plots, this new wave of episodes will continue to open plots and close some of those that were left unfinished on the occasion of the second.
The Castlevania series on Netflix is based on Konami's celebrated intellectual property. By having an official license, in their seasons they narrate facts with enough accuracy and freedom to introduce modifications in subplots, characters and personalities of them. So far, the production has Warren Ellis as lead writer within the Bootleg Universe team and Adi Shanar as producer. Shankar is known to have signed the most recent versions of Power Rangers and Judge Dredd.
Recently, we have learned that Netflix has closed an agreement with Shueisha publishing house to produce a live action series of One Piece, the most successful manganime of all time. Castlevania's name, along with others such as Devil May Cry, The Witcher and Saint Seiya, highlight Netflix's full involvement and interest in attracting a video game devotee audience in its VOD content service.
