Netflix's Castlevania series ended after 4 seasons. Yesterday it was announced that a new spinoff of the series will be coming.

The spinoff will include Richter Belmont, with the setting of the French Revolution. There's no trailer yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Quote:Executive producer Kevin Kolde, director Sam Deats, and assistant director Adam Deats of Adi Shankar's Castlevania animated series revealed during Netflix's Geeked Week livestream on Friday that the show is getting a new spinoff series, and it is in the works. The new series will star Richter Belmont (a descendant of the original show's protagonists Sypha and Trevor) and Maria Renard. The series will be set in France during the French Revolution in 1792.

Richter and Maria are protagonists in the Castlevania: Rondo of Blood game, and they also appear in other games in the series including Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Entertainment news website Deadline reported in April that Netflix was eyeing a new series set in the same universe with a new cast of characters.

Netflix streamed the fourth season of the original series on May 13. The season had 10 episodes.

Netflix's anime series seem to be doing well. This isn't the first of their shows with a spin off. I really ought to see Castlevania - I can't believe I haven't yet.

Another spinoff that looks like it will be great is Bright: Samurai Soul:

I wanna see this so bad. I quite liked the premise of the film.
It's unusual to get an anime from a live action film, though, which makes it all the more interesting.

Spinoff are usually fun, they try to show the anime in a new perspective. Hope they measure up with the original series.
