WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Castlevania Season 3. Read at your own risk.
Castlevania is a Netflix animated series based on the on Konami's 1989 video game Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. The second season concluded in October 2018, and fans are now wondering when Castlevania season 3 will arrive and what to expect when the third installment premieres.
Netflix officially renewed Castlevania season 3. However, the official release date of the upcoming installment remains unknown at the moment. Many speculated it would be released this 2019 as the page of the animated series on the streaming platform wrote: "It's Official: Another Season Is Coming."
In June 2018, Richard Armitage, who voices Trevor Belmont, revealed they started voicing the third season, which means that they're likely done recording by now. Some reports also noted that Castlevania season 3 would be out in Fall 2019 since the animated series is preparing for a Halloween release. Netflix also confirmed the upcoming season would consist of 10 episodes.
As for who's returning in Castlevania season 3, Armitage will surely reprise his role as Trevor, alongside Graham McTavish (voices Dracula Vlad Tepes). Moreover, Alejandra Reynoso (Sypha Belnades), Tony Amendola (The Elder), Matt Frewer (The Bishop), and James Callis (Adrian Țepeș/Alucard) are all expected to return in the upcoming season.
Currently, there were only a few details about the plot of Castlevania Season 3. But, the season 2 finale featured the seeming death of Dracula at the hands of his son Alucard. The ending hinted Dracula might be gone for good, though there's still a possibility he'll come undead in the third installment.
But if ever Dracula might not be coming back in the new season, fans speculated the animated series would introduce a new villain. Castlevania Season 3 might feature Carmilla as the new big bad, and Jaime Murray will be voicing the character.
Meanwhile, Trevor and Sypha left Alucard, and they went on an adventure together. Since the latter is now an orphaned dhampir, he needs to deal with the fact that he killed his father. But, aside from all of these, Castlevania Season 3 will reportedly explore a new status quo.
In a related report from IGN, the upcoming Castlevania Season 3 might also feature a crossover episode with the pilot season of Devil May Cry. Nothing is confirmed right now. However, Castlevania executive producer Adi Shankar will reportedly develop the animated-series adaptation of Capcom's popular video game franchise.
