Netflix Unveils August 2023 Adult Animation Premieres ; Teases Castlevania: Nocturne

Netflix has had a pretty solid summer 2023 for adult animation, so I’m going to cut them some slack for the rather paltry August lineup. Fortunately, September 2023 already has me panting because they just announced the premiere date for Castlevania: Nocturne that you can see below. The premiere comes at a time when show studio Powerhouse Animation recently recognized its studio as a member of The Animation Guild which is a big deal because Texas is a “right to work” state. In any event, the result is the studio will continue to produce animated content that is awesome, such as the aforementioned Castlevania sequel series. Synopses and more below.
