It's a typo. They're referring to Warren Ellis, who wrote the first series.
Ahh so he's out? Dang well hopefully it's still up to par.

If Alucard is the glue that is the continuity they're going to use when it comes to pick to arcs, they have five they can make. They've done Trevor, this is Richter, they could do one around Quincy Morris, one around Julius Belmont and 1999, and finally one around Soma Cruz in the 2030's. These are the only periods Alucard is around in the games.
tbh I'm actually really interested if they'd take a stab at the Demon Castle War, because no media has depicted 1999 at all yet.

I thought there were two separate writers named Clive Bradley because there's two Twitter accounts for both the Castlevania and Trapped writers, but they might actually be the same guy?
Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls is the first time we've even gotten artwork for it. A fuckin' mobile game was our only ever glimpse into this.
Link to artwork? Want to see the nearest official source for 1999.
The artwork was made for the game, for reference. But it's still the first official appearance of anything set in this period. It implies Julius, Alucard, and two other key characters defeated Dracula in this period.
It's in the opening to the game.
Thanks. Man, just outsource battle of 1999 to IGA to close that story arc.
Sounds good. The writing was my main problem with the first one.
Absolutely loved the first show, so definitely looking forward to this. I'm not even a fan of the games, but the show was just that good.
My bad, I meant Warren Ellis, former writer of the show, I believe he got involved in some scandals or something and left after the last season.
Also notably Sonia before any of that, although Iga struck it from canon. He's gone now though and I could see Legends being an appealing adaptation for the Show continuity given the implications it makes with Alucard and the Belmonts.
We need to get a Lament of Innocence series that goes into how Dracula came to be
I dunno, I kinda just prefer Vlad being who he is. I could also do without Wife Whip.
I love Iga's 2D stuff but it wouldn't bother me at all if someone else at Konami struck his 3D stuff from continuity and restored Sonia instead.
Leon already showed up as a painting in season 1 or 2. Too late for that. Also, wife whip is dumb but Alucard having a kid and him never mentioning it would be more bizarre so no thanks to restoring that.
Oh yeah, I forgot they already mentioned him at the Belmont Hold and Trevor was named after his companion. Oh well, sexism wins I guess.
The writing was absolutely the best part of the first one. Like this convo is so fucking good
The fact that they didn't try to play everything straight is the best thing about the writing.
We definitely need a female lead Belmont in the canon (and in the show), but wouldn't Trevor be Sonia and Alucard's son if her game was still canon? Sonia's game took place only a few years before Trevor was born.
I feel that might have come up (and have been awkward) if that was the case.
I hope they make Maria as cool as Sypha was in the first series. I don't think there's ever been a more incredible mage put to screen in anything.
Also let's keep this franchise going until they can get to Shanoa. I think they'd do incredible work.

Just because Leon was mentioned as being the first hunter of the Belmont clan doesn't necessarily mean the events played out exactly the same as in Lament of Innocence. Mathias was never even hinted at, Dracula barely seems to register the Belmonts as anything other than annoyance (which he probably would feel differently about if he had a relationship with Leon), and there's really no indication that the Vampire Killer is powered by a dead woman's soul. It's just an alchemy whip.
Currently on hiatus but I've let my old boss know you all want more sex, specifically Alucard boning everyone each season
They can just justify the thing with Dracula by saying that his mind was warped by the ritual that turned him that way.
My thought has always been that they'd keep to the Alucard stories and have him as the main connective tissue. So I wasn't at all surprised when they jumped all the way to Richter. The question now is, if they do end up doing a third arc/series, is it the Sorrow games, or do they actually do 1999?
I hope Vampire Killer and Simon's Quest get adapted as an animated movies or something on Netflix.
Interested to see how they will adapt the story, considering how the previous season ended. I'll definitely give it a watch when it comes out.
That part wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good to me either. Around 90% of the writing/dialogue was terrible to me. I don't want to sit through all that just for the 10%.
To be honest, if not playing everything straight gave us the first series, then I'd rather they play everything straight instead of what we got.
The series wherein a person from a vampire hunter family facing off against a coven of vampires should probably never be played straight.
I agree. I am not against not playing it straight but what we got was just terrible to me. If people loved that, more power to them. It just wasn't for me.
First look at Maria Renford

Point of clarification: Annette Renard is Richter's fiancee, Maria is Annette's younger sister. It's Annette getting kidnapped that spurs Richter and Maria into action.
Looks like they're going with her DXC design, neat! That shot of her looks great, Iove the lighting!
