3 Castlevania
Castlevania is an animated series which first released in 2017 and has had three successful seasons so far. The dramatic and confusing end to season 3 had fans predicting what season 4 may entail. Rest assured, season 4 is “turning out phenomenal“, according to director Samuel Deats. Deats also shared a few screenshots of their progress on the upcoming season. The screenshots are the faces of Sypha and Trevor, seemingly during or after a battle. There hasn’t been any major information shared about season 4 yet.
