ABOUT CASTLEVANIA

CV key art Inspired by the classic video game series, Castlevania is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepes himself.

SEASON ONE SYNOPSIS: “Trevor Belmont, embittered and excommunicated, finds himself drawn into a battle for the survival of Europe–a region that has brought doom upon itself by taking away the one thing its greatest monster loved.”

Adapting the story of the hit game “Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse” the series written by renowned writer Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Astonishing X-Men) is a fantastic viewing experience for fans of the franchise and those completely new to it as well. The success of the first season on Netflix led to a second being produced and a third season also being green lit for production!

WHAT’S IN THE BOX? WHAT’S ON THE DISC?

This Ltd Collector’s Edition Blu-ray set that’s exclusive to AllTheAnime.com and Zavvi.com comes packed in a rigid case with a digipack to hold the Blu-ray disc.

It’s exactly the kind of definitive collection of material you’ve come to expect from us and we haven’t let you down – if you want to know what character feature caused the designer to apologise to the animation team for making their lives difficult, this is where you’ll find it!
