Castlevania is Netflix’s animation TV series based on Konami’s Japanese video game series of the same name. Followed by Beastars, Devilman Crybaby, and Dorohedoro, Castlevania is just another example of how popular the animated series genre is on Netflix.
However, among all others, Castlevania is the one that’s most popular on the platform and is creating an intense buzz for the upcoming season.
What release date has Netflix confirmed for Castlevania season 4?
The release date of Castlevania season 4 will follow the pattern similar to its previous seasons. The series, which was originally planned as a movie in 2007, and dumped, finally saw its debut as a TV series on Netflix in 2017.
Created by Warren Ellis and developed by Adi Shankar, Castlevania season 1 premiered on Netflix on July 7, 2017. It was then followed by season 2 on October 26, 2018, and season 3 on March 5, 2020.
What came as no surprise to fans, within three weeks of the season 3 premiere, Netflix renewed the show for a season 4 on March 27, 2020.
Season 4 to premiere after 15 months?
It’s been around five months since Netflix confirmed the renewal of Castlevania, but there’s no update regarding the release date yet.
Even in normal scenarios, Netflix keeps the release plans hidden until a couple of months before release. In that case, when the times are so uncertain due to the pandemic, Netflix is not likely to announce a date anytime soon.

However, going by the weird release pattern Netflix has followed for previous seasons, we can make a guess for season 4.
When Netflix begin the work on season 1, it was late in 2015, and it took the network close to two years to release it.

So, combining that sloth speed of creators with the pandemic delays, we predict that your wait is not ending until fall 2021.
