As for what to expect inthe new season, producerKevin Kolde, alongside directors Sam andAdam Deats, had a chat with Collider’sRobert Taylor,teasing what characters would be the center of attention.
“We talk about Dracula a lot. But I think Dracula is one of those things that you talk about a lot because, if you’re going to do it, you’ve got to do it right. His story ended in such a satisfying way. If we were going to go beyond that, it would need super thoughtful care. So, I don’t know. We’ll focus on Alucard and Juste, and continue to have Dracula chats.”
