Quote:"Castlevania's fourth and final season has now arrived on Netflix, bringing the epic vampire anime saga to an end. Though these final 10 episodes are expected to close the stories of characters like Trevor Belmont (Richard Armitage) and Alucard (James Callis), the creators of the show have been hinting that the world of Castlevania will continue in some form.

Why is Castlevania ending?
Two factors are at play when it comes to Castlevania coming to an end: Netflix's cancelation policies and the controversy around the series' creator Warren Ellis.

Netflix generally cancels all but its biggest shows after three or four seasons, or about 30 episodes. Castlevania's fourth season brings the episode total to 32.

There are a number of reasons (as previously explored by Newsweek) why all but the biggest shows like Stranger Things and The Crown end around the 30-episode point. For the most part, this is because Netflix is a business dependent on getting new people to subscribe to the service. And past a certain point, a show does not tend to bring in new viewers—if one has not watched a show like Castlevania in the four years it has been on Netflix already, it is thought, then one is unlikely to start doing so after four seasons."

It's not always the case, but seems to happen pretty often. I'm still salty they cancelled Daredevil and Punisher.
