Castlevania: Nocturne S2 is in production and the wait « won’t be quite so long this time, » says director.
In a rare act of restraint, it took me an entire four days to watch the eight episodes of Netflix’s new Castlevania series, Castlevania: Nocturne. It really was worth savoring: season after season Powerhouse Animation Studios has upped its game, and it’s been nearly two-and-a-half years since the final season of the show’s original run concluded. That was a lot of waiting, but it sounds like the wait for more Nocturne will be shorter.
Today Netflix returned Nocturne has been greenlit for season 2, and the team even had a teaser trailer ready to go.
« SEASON 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne is OFFICIALLY IN PRODUCTION!!! » co-director Samuel Deats wrote on Friday. « Those are ACTUAL Storyboards, Layouts, and Animation for Season 2. ???? …. Sorry to keep you waiting. Won’t be quite so long this time. »
Given Nocturne’s next season already has storyboards and some animation finished, it’s safe to say Netflix had already greenlit the continuation before season one even aired; it was a surefire thing, short of a disastrous debut.
