While we patiently await the premiere of season two of Netflix’s Castlevania, VIZ Media has announced preorders for the home media release of season one of the series. Set to debut on December 4th, the four-episode first season of the series will be available on both Blu-ray and on DVD.
Both Blu-ray and DVD releases will include on-disc storyboards and art galleries as bonus features. Exclusive Blu-ray extras include the sketch art-to-animation animatic sequences of Castlevania’s most exciting moments!
Inspired by the classic video game series, “Castlevania” is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepes himself. In Season 1, Trevor Belmont, embittered and excommunicated, finds himself drawn into a battle for the survival of Europe – a region that has brought doom upon itself by taking away the one thing its greatest monster loved.
“With its dark, multi-layered storyline filled with demons, magic, and action, “Castlevania” has established itself as a series that adeptly expands the original premise of the classic video game,” says Brian Ige, VIZ Media’s Vice President of Animation. “We look forward to the series being a highlight on many fans’ holiday wish lists this season.”
