The series is a spin-off of the Castlevania animated series, based on the video game series of the same name. It features Richter Belmont and Maria Renard, set in the events of the French Revolution. The series draws inspiration from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The first season consists of eight episodes of 24-31 minutes each and was released worldwide on September 28, 2023. The second season was released on January 16, 2025 On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season of Castlevania: Nocturne holds an approval audience rating of 48% based on over 1,000+ user ratings, having an overall mixed reception. Metacritic reported there were "mixed or average" ratings for the first season, with a weighted average score of 4.7 based on 265 user ratings. The consensus is that while the show has decent animation, it is overall inferior to its predecessor, and the plot often sidelines the protagonists to focus more on secondary characters. The writing, excessive swearing, the unbalanced direction in the storyline, and the push of progressive politics also received a mixed reception in general. On the other hand, Season 2 had a much better reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an audience approval rating of 89% based on 500+ user ratings. Conversely, Metacritic once again reported there were "mixed or average" ratings for the second season, with a weighted average score of 5.5 based on 24 user ratings. The second season was praised for its well-choreographed action scenes, reduced coarse language, and improved character development among the main cast. Black Nerd Problems has likewise commended it for its portrayal of Yoruba religion through Annette's character arc and Olrox's motives being rooted in the decline of the Aztecs
