Castlevania Getting a Television Series In 2017

The title “Castlevania Season 1, Part 1″ was spotted today at Netflix’s event where it was announcing its upcoming programming for 2017. The series is reportedly being produced by Frederator Networks, an animation studio most well known for its work on Adventure Time. Other names rumored to be involved are Hellblazer writer Warren Ellis and Adi Shankar who created the 2015 short film Power/Rangers Unauthorized.

This could be a very interesting project. The Castlevania lore is long and full of good old fashioned horror tropes. With Frederator involved, it will most likely be animated. Hopefully they aim towards the adult demographic that will most likely have a more vested interest in a project from such an old source material.
