Netflix revealed a new Castlevania animation set in 1792 France against the backdrop of the French Revolution during Geeked Week. Not only that, but there's more! Richter Belmont and Maria Renard, the fan-favorite characters from the games Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night, will appear in the new series.
Kevin Kolde will produce the new Castlevania series, which will be written by Clive Bradley, who will also serve as showrunner and executive producer. With Sam and Adam Deats directing, Powerhouse Animation will continue to act as the series' animation studio.
Richter, for those who are unaware, is a descendent of Trevor Belmont, the lead of the Netflix Castlevania series. He began his career as the star of Rondo of Blood (also known as Castlevania: Dracula X in the United States) and the antagonist of Symphony of the Night, in which he takes over Dracula's castle and attempts to revive the vampire king.
