Netflix has shared the first full trailer for Castlevania: Nocturne alongside confirming a premiere date for the sequel animated series.

The direct sequel series is premiering on September 28th via Netflix, and will include eight 25-minute long episodes. Fans can expect the series to follow a younger Richter Belmont, descendent of the original Netflix Castlevania protagonist Trevor Belmont.

Set in 1792 during the height of the French Revolution, the new series follows Richter – who appeared as protagonist in both Castlevania games Rondo of Blood and its direct sequel Symphony of the Night.

Here’s a brief blurb on the series, plus the first full trailer:

In a remote part of western France, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy has forged an alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to ‘eat the sun’ and unleash an army of vampires and nightcreatures to crush the revolution and enslave humanity. Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, seeks out Richter Belmont, last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.
