Castlevania 2017

Overview

Castlevania is an animated television series inspired by the classic gothic horror action-adventure video game franchise created by Konami.

The show is available to view on Netflix, which describes the production as being inspired by the classic video games. This adaptation serves as a distinct entry within the broader media franchise, which continues to be catalogued and maintained through various official portal sites and digital collections.
