Whether in the Castlevania franchise or elsewhere, Dracula is a character who has a habit of cheating death and returning to threaten humanity again. Shankar wouldn't confirm whether Dracula might return in the upcoming in Season 3, but he did say that the character's fate is part of a larger plan for the series that won't always align with the source material.
“As much as this show is Castlevania it’s not a tie-in to a video game. This is our own interpretation of Castlevania, call it the Castlevania Cinematic Universe. Characters may pop up a little differently, they might pop up exactly the same. Events may play out exactly the same, things may cause them to deviate. The big thing going into this show is there’s a master plan to the narrative we’re devising.”Do you want to see Dracula return in Season 3, or is it time for other villains to step into the spotlight?
