What is Castlevania: Nocturne about?

The Belmont family will once again return to Netflix in the new series Castlevania: Nocturne. A spin-off of the original Castlevania series, which followed Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard on their adventure to defeat vampires.

This iconic show spanned four seasons on Netflix. The new Installment introduces Richter, the last descendant of the vampire-hunting Belmont clan. Drawing inspiration from the video game of the same name, it takes cues from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and its sequel Symphony of the Night, set in 1792 during the French Revolution.
