Castlevania

Overview

When Dracula’s beloved wife is burned at the stake by a corrupt church, the vampire lord unleashes an army of night creatures on the land of Wallachia. The only force standing between humanity and annihilation is Trevor Belmont, the last surviving member of a disgraced family of monster hunters, who reluctantly takes up the fight.

Joined by the magician Sypha Belnades and Dracula’s own son, Alucard, Trevor travels from besieged towns to ancient castles in a dark fantasy epic about vengeance, faith and what remains of humanity when monsters rule the night. Created by Warren Ellis, the series adapts Konami’s classic games into a brutal, adult animated saga across four seasons.
