Castlevania Season 1, Part 1 Coming to Netflix in 2017

The item was buried in a press release detailing a variety of Netflix news revealed at an event in New York City. While that’s all we know officially about the project, the folks over at i09 did a little digging and put together a few more potential pieces of the puzzle.

Could it be the same project? Probably. But we’ll have to wait for Netflix to tell us more about how it plans to make a classic vampire-slaying game into a modern TV show.
