Dracula’s travels during this time also prove important later on in this season. While season 1 opened with Dracula’s wife burned at the stake, a flashback sequence shows us how things got to that point. Season 1’s Back Story Reveals ItselfĬastlevania season 2 begins with more insight and backstory into the events of season 1. There are many new characters, some entirely villainous, some who are bad but sympathetic, and others even more duplicitous than Dracula himself. Vampires leaders from all over the world, Dracula’s Generals, arrive at his castle, for the war he has declared on humanity. Season 1 only saw Dracula dispatch mindless monsters into the world, but their world is much more populated. Season 2 introduces us to a hierarchy of the Vampire kingdom, with Dracula reigning as its King.

While season 1 made Dracula seem like a lone legendary monster who single-handedly reigns over the kingdom of the Night, it’s a lot more complicated than that. It’s hard to do a Castlevania season 2 recap without deep-diving into the villains of the series. Along with Sypha (Alejandra Reynoso) the sorceress, the two join Dracula’s son Alucard (James Callis) in destroying him and saving humanity.Ĭastlevania Season 2’s Villains Are The Main Focus We also spent a lot of time with Trevor Belmont (Richard Armitage), the former disgraced warrior who finds purpose again in a new fight. Most of season 1 set up a lot of empathy for Dracula and his tragic love story that turned to vengeance. And Dracula’s own half-human son who wishes to stop his father from murdering his mother’s people. A disgraced and apathetic former monster-hunting warrior. Seeing how the church killed his very human wife for thinking she was a witch, Dracula is hell-bent on taking revenge on all of humanity. A nation in the 1400s is in ravages after the legendary Dracula (Graham McTavish) unleashes his monsters upon humanity. Our season 1 recap outlined the very short first season and how it set up its main characters. Obviously, to do a Castlevania season 2 recap, we will be diving right into spoilers.
