The fourth season of Netflix’s original Castlevania anime series may have ended. But the streaming service isn’t done with this world of monsters and vampire hunters just yet.

Castlevania: Nocturne, a sequel series, will follow the story of the Belmonts’ never-ending war against the forces of darkness.  But with a completely new protagonist.

Meet Richter Belmont, the descendant of Trevor and Sypha and heir to the family’s long tradition of vampire hunting.

The sequel takes place centuries after the original, during the French Revolution in 1792. The period was of enormous unrest in Europe. Thus, making it ideal for monsters to attack.

Richter, like in that game, will meet a young girl named Maria Renard throughout his mission on the show. Maria, like Sypha, is a skilled magician, making her the ideal companion for Richter, who is more of a brawler like Trevor.
