While big and small screen adaptations of classic video game franchises traditionally get a bad rap, things have been getting better as of late. In the last year alone, we were graced with not one, but two solid films (Detective Pikachu and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie), and while it’s technically based on the book series of the same name, it’s hard to deny that Witcher fans contributed to the show’s success.
In fact, The Witcher is not the only Netflix video game adaptation that’s been getting a lot of love. The animated Castlevania series, which originally premiered back in 2017, has received praise from both critics and audiences alike, and it’s gone on to become one of the most successful original animated shows on the platform. It should come as no surprise then that the series was recently renewed for a fourth season, and fans have flocked to social media to share their excitement over the announcement.

Even though Dracula himself might not be in the picture anymore, it looks like the show’s creative team will have a lot to work with when whipping up the next batch of episodes, as both Isaac and Carmilla are shaping up to be capable villains moving forward.
While it might take some time for the fourth season of Castlevania to premiere, the show’s success is paving the way for a handful of other video game adaptations, which is sure to please fans. So far, we’ve heard that Devil May Cry, Assassin’s Creed, and Hyper Light Drifter are being adapted as Netflix original series. Speaking of which, we’re curious; what other shows would you be interested in seeing? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.
