A Castlevania Netflix series is on the way from a Dredd producer and Warren Ellis... hang on, this can't be right

Yes, that Netflix. Yes, that Castlevani🍸a. And frankly, with no major Castlevania games on the horizon, wh💎y the hell not?

reports that, among the many, many other shows that Netflix has announced during a special event today, there exists a si꧙ngle sentence about this strange project:

"Castlevania Season 1, Part 1 Coming to Netflix in 2017."

Seriously, that's it. But Dredd producer Adi Shankar 🐟had posted on in August 2015 that he was working on a Castlevania mini-series with Fred Seibert and Kevin Klonde. 

After Netflix🥀's announcement Shankar pos𝔍ted this: 

As far as talent goes it's a good lineup: Warren Ellis is a critically acclaimed comic book author who's written for 200AD, Marvel and DC. While in case you're not familiar with Shankar's work, here's the super🌟 grimdark Power Rangers short he released in 2015:

Speaking to in 2015, Shankar🅠 said that the story will be based on Castl🍨evania 3. "The goal is to bring hard hitting anime to America and be America’s first animated series for adults," he said.

Holy poop, you guys. Holy poop.
