Or is Netflix renewing the Castlevania series for season 5? Well! We regret to inform you that Castlevania season 5 is not coming out. 

A few months back, rumors about Netflix creating Castlevania season 5 as a spin-off surrounded the internet. Unfortunately, it is nothing but a rumor only. Fans are still unable to believe that the Castlevania animated series has come to an end? However, it is a bitter truth. 

Here’s a fun fact: Did you know? In 2020, Castlevania animated series was almost canceled after the release of Season 3. Inside details reveal that the creators of the show were accused of sexual misconduct and charged with the same. As a result, Netflix decided to release one more season to give the series’ viewers a proper closure. 

Is the Castlevania Season 5 trailer out?

There is no official trailer released for Castlevania season 5. On the contrary, many youtube channels created unofficial Castlevania season 5 trailers which are quite interesting to look at.

According to our research, most of the predictions are based on the Castlevania gaming series. Did you know? In actuality, both Castlevania game series versus Castlevania animated series is far distinct from each other. 

Surprisingly enough, the Castlevania animated series (2017) season 1 was actually based on Castlevania III Dracula’s Curse. Meaning that the makers of the animated series skipped over Castlevania I and II’s storyline from the game series. 

Yet, of course, the game series vs. the animated series of Castlevania is nowhere near “same or parallel.” For example, in the Castlevania Game Series III Dracula’s Curse, the vampires face a big-time disadvantage due to their evil nature. However, in the animated series, vampirism is not a disadvantage but a power and strength for the characters. 

Thus, the stories are quite distinct.
