If you have not played the iconic computer game Castlevania, the story consists of a vampire hunter that fights to save a besieged city from an army of otherworldly beasts controlled by Dracula himself. Check out the Netflix teaser below.
The Story and Characters
The Castlevania series is based on the popular video game franchise by Konami, which has been a staple in the gaming community since its debut in 1986. The narrative follows Trevor Belmont, the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, who is trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepes. Dracula, enraged by the murder of his wife, unleashes an army of demons upon the land, causing widespread chaos and destruction.
Trevor is joined by a group of misfit comrades, including the magician Sypha Belnades and Dracula’s own son, Alucard, who seeks to stop his father’s reign of terror. The series delves deep into the lore of the Castlevania universe, exploring the complex relationships between characters and the moral ambiguities of their actions.
Voice Cast and Production
Series 1 of Castlevania will be available via Netflix on July 7th, 2017. This dark series features the voices of Richard Armitage (“The Hobbit”) as Trevor Belmont and James Callis (“Battlestar Galactica”) as Alucard. The voice cast also includes Alejandra Reynoso as Sypha Belnades and Graham McTavish as Dracula. The series is written by Warren Ellis, known for his work in comic books and graphic novels, and is produced by Adi Shankar, who has a reputation for creating gritty, mature adaptations of beloved franchises.
The animation is handled by Frederator Studios, the same studio behind popular shows like “Adventure Time” and “The Fairly OddParents.” The art style is heavily influenced by Japanese anime, which adds a unique visual flair to the series, setting it apart from other Western animated shows.
The series has been praised for its mature storytelling, complex characters, and faithful adaptation of the source material. Fans of the video game series will appreciate the attention to detail and the inclusion of iconic elements from the games, such as the whip-wielding Belmonts and the gothic, horror-inspired settings.
In addition to its engaging plot and well-developed characters, Castlevania also features a hauntingly beautiful musical score composed by Trevor Morris, known for his work on “Vikings” and “The Tudors.” The music adds an extra layer of depth to the series, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
