Netflix made the Castlevania season 4 announcement on Twitter:
“Extra special thanks to all the people who have been tweeting ‘it’s been 84 years’ at me since 2018 who are now tweeting ‘but what about Season 4,’” creator Warren Ellis previously wrote on Twitter after the release of season 3, sharing that some fans are already asking him about a potential fifth season. “Now people are asking about Season FIVE in what I can only assume is an attempt to destroy my mind.”
While Netflix hasn’t announced a season 5, fans can take comfort in knowing that the streaming service has given the animated series another year of life. And why wouldn’t it? The season 3 ending sets up a few interesting storylines to be explored in future episodes.
At the end of season 3, Trevor and Sypha stop the Dracula-worshipping cult in Lindenfeld from bringing the Lord of Darkness back from the dead, but it’s at a high cost: a battle that leaves the village all but destroyed and all of the villagers dead. The happiness the duo thought they had found after defeating Dracula is ripped away. The season ends with Trevor and Sypha leaving Lindenfeld towards an uncertain future.
Meanwhile, Alucard is forced to confront his own humanity after Taka and Sumi betray his trust and try to kill him. Maybe he deserves a similar fate as his father, to be locked away in Dracula’s castle and haunt the land. Alucard’s story in season 3 ends with the half-human half-vampire shutting the doors of the castle to the outside world, the heads of Taka and Sumi on pikes to ward off visitors.
