Ahead of the release of the second season last month,Sam Deats released a brand-newCastlevania: Nocturneseason 2 visualthat got fans even more hyped for its return. Due to the success of season one onNetflix, which rated highly on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 96%, and generally positive reviews from critics praising its strong character development and incredible visuals, season 2 was inevitable. However, for those who can’t wait to continue the series into a possible third and have cried out for an adaptation ofSymphony of the Night, its directors have some encouraging news to share.
Castlevania: Nocturne Season 3 Is a Possibility, but It’s up to Netflix
In an exclusive interview withCollider, directors Adam Deats and Sam Deats expressed their heartfelt desire to continue to delve into the vastCastlevaniauniverse but stated that it wasn’t solely up to them to make season 3 happen, as the decision was ultimately up to Netflix and if fans really wanted another season. However, Sam did mention that if they could come back for a third season, they would be interested inadaptingSymphony of the Night, something many fans of the franchise would love to see happen and the perfect next step for the series.
“Certainly, we have tried to set the stage for and have always wanted to do a Symphony of the Night adaptation. But, as Adam said, there is a broad universe in Castlevania. This isn’t our first rodeo when it comes to the question mark in between seasons.”
It’s understandable that Sam and Adam are cautious about planning too much ahead forCastlevaniadue to Netflix’s unpredictable history of canceling shows. Despite amazing viewership and a dedicated fanbase, the directors seem to be urging those interested in seeing more of the animated series to continue to support it by tuning in. If season 3 is greenlit, it would takeAlucard’s arcon an amazing adventure withSymphony of the Night,allowing the show to reach even greater heights and even possibly cementing the series in one of the best adaptations to date.
There’s every reason thatCastlevania: Nocturnewill and should return for another wonderfully crafted animation in season 3, but until it’s officially announced, fans will just have to keep watching as the first and second seasons are currently streaming on Netflix right now.
