The French Revolution-based sequel series premieres on Netflix later this month.
The Big Picture "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" is the motto for Richter Belmont and Maria Renard in Netflix's upcoming Castlevania: Nocturne. Following years after Trevor Belmont and company defeated Dracula and Death itself to free the world from the threats of Hell, the new series takes place during the French Revolution in which the resistance is fighting an uphill battle against an oppressive aristocracy that has joined forces with creatures of the night.
The poster highlights the detailed hand-drawn aesthetic of Nocturne, giving Maria and Richter the feel of important historical figures chronicled by an artist from the past. A star shines above the two young vampire hunters, emphasizing them as the Northern Stars of the Revolution with the power to change the course of the fight.
Though Castlevania: Nocturne is loosely based on the two games Richter and Maria appeared most prominently in, Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood, there's no Dracula or Alucard to be spotted here as a new and arguably more dangerous threat takes shape. The two will clash with the prophesied Vampire Messiah, a being who wishes to plunge the world into eternal darkness by devouring the sun.
Powerhouse Animation Studios Continues Its Excellent Work With 'Castlevania: Nocturne' Animating the hauntingly beautiful world of Nocturne is once again Powerhouse Animation Studios who continue to be an unsung hero in the animation space. The studio is blazing a trail for the future of adult animation, not only creating excellent series based on legacy properties like the original Castlevania series and Masters of the Universe: Revelation but also doing it with a unionized workforce.

Clarke, Richard Dormer, Iain Glen, Elarica Johnson, Nastassja Kinski, Zahn McClarnon, Aaron Neil, Franka Potente, and Sophie Skelton.
