Netflix has kicked off its Geeked Week with some fang-tastic news: Castlevania: Nocturne season 2 has a release window – and a first teaser.

The first Nocturne season 2 teaser trailer, which you can see above, confirms that Alucard and Richter have joined forces, while flashes of other characters – Maria and a mysterious cloaked woman are shown in intercut scenes – are glimpsed.

“Now joined by the legendary Alucard, Richter Belmont and his band of vampire hunters are in a desperate race against time,” Netflix’s synopsis reads. “Erzsebet Báthory, the Vampire Messiah, who already seems invincible, seeks the full power of the goddess Sekhmet so she can plunge the world into endless darkness and terror.”

There’s plenty more animated fare coming this year – to Netflix and beyond. Arcane season 2 hits screens this November, whileBleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3andDragon Ball Daimakicks off an exciting October packed withnew anime.
