However, given that the shows four seasons received consistent critical and fan acclaim, don't expect the Castlevania coffin to stay shut - this is a show about vampires, resurrection and the undead after all.
Castlevania was renewed for a fourth season in March 2020, a few weeks after the launch of the third season. However, it was confirmed a month later that the fourth season would be the show's last, and the final episodes were released in May 2021 with the show wrapping up pretty much all loose threads.
Netflix has also been cancelling several series after only a few seasons recently, with new shows thought to be more effective at attracting new subscribers. This strategy may explain why the streaming service is working on another Castlevania show instead...
However Netflix may opt for a prequel much like Witcher spinoff Blood Origin - the earliest chronological game is 2003's Castlevania: Lament of Innocence which is set in 1094, and a perfect opportunity for a Belmont clan and Dracula origin story. The game's protagonist Leon Belmont has already appeared in the anime series as a painting, and a prequel could explain why Trevor's family have been shunned and wiped out by the events of season one.
The Infinite Corridor featured in season three means that the show could also explore futuristic timelines - 2003 game Aria of Sorrow was set in 2035 and featured Soma Cruz, a character that executive producer Adi Shankar is particularly fond of according to an IGN interview.
