Netflix's Castlevania writer was surprised and delighted that a third season was greenlit

Netflix's Castlevania series has turned out to be quite the hit, with the second season being quite a bit bigger and better than the first. That means the pressure is on for season 3, especially when the writer behind the series didn't even expect to get that far!

In an interview with io9, writer Warren Ellis talked about what it was like hearing that the show was going to get a third season.

Because I didn’t know we were going to get a season three. I thought, “Well...shit, I better actually get the end in season two!” And then Netflix asked for a third season, which was delightful. And surprising. And wonderful. And also one of those, “Oh, shit” moments that you always relish as a writer. That said, once we got the offer for season three, it came to me, because I had all those characters aside from Dracula and Lisa and Godbrand—god rest Godbrand. I had all those characters in play across a whole chunk of the hemisphere, really. And I felt like a lot of those characters still had a lot of places to go, and arcs that had been incomplete.
