Castlevania is an adult animated dark medieval fantasy action-adventure series created by Warren Ellis.

Cobra Kai Season 6 is finally here and it’s even better than the last one, which no one thought was possible. The Netflix series follows the story of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who has kind of left bullying and turned into a karate instructor. The series continues the story of the 1984 film The Karate Kid, in which Johnny lost the “All Valley Karate Tournament” to his enemy Daniel (Ralph Macchio). In the series, Johnny inspires weak kids to learn karate so that they can stand up to their bullies and fight to protect themselves. Still, everything goes wrong in a very entertaining way and many iconic characters from the Karate Kid movies appear in the series. So, if you love the teen drama, action comedy, and martial arts in Cobra Kai here are some similar shows you could watch while waiting for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2.

Exclusive: Powerhouse Animation Studios, which is behind Netflix’s Castlevania franchise and the upcoming Tomb Raider and Skull Island anime series, is formalizing its relationship with the streamer by signing a first-look deal to produce more animated series.

Under the pact, Powerhouse Animation will continue to work with Netflix on the new Castlevania series set in the same universe as the original, which recently wrapped its fourth and final season. Based on the classic Konami video game, Castlevania was the streamer’s first original anime series. The new show, from showrunner Clive Bradley, is centered on Richter Belmont — a descendant of Castlevania characters Trevor and Sypha — and is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution.

Powerhouse is also attached to the recently announced Tomb Raider and Skull Island anime series with Legendary Television.

Netflix and Powerhouse’s collaborations also include Greek mythology-based series Blood of Zeus, Seis Manos, and...

Exclusive: Political satirist/comedian Bassem Youssef is teaming with Powerhouse Animation Studios to adapt his forthcoming book The Magical Reality of Nadia, inspired by Youssef’s own life experience, as a television series.

The Magical Reality of Nadia is described as a humorous and heartfelt story about prejudice, friendship, empathy, and courage. Written by Youssef and Catherine R. Daly with illustrations by Douglas Holgate (The Last Kids on Earth), the book is inspired by Bassem’s own experience and his hopes and dreams for his children. Scholastic will publish the first book in the series in February 2021.

In the book, Nadia, who is Youssef’s young daughter, moved from Egypt to America when she was six years old, and is determined to win a school contest to design an exhibit at the local museum. A new kid shows up at school and teases Nadia about her family’s culture. Luckily for Nadia,...

Netflix has signed an overall deal with writer and producer Michael Green.

The first project under that deal will be the animated series “Blue Eye Samurai,” which has been ordered to series at the streamer. Geeen co-created the series along with Amber Noizumi. They will serve as executive producers and co-showrunners on the show, which follows a mixed-race master of the sword who lives a life in disguise while seeking revenge in Edo-period Japan. Jane Wu will serve as supervising director and a producer. Erwin Stoff will also executive produce.

The voice cast for the series will include Maya Erskine, George Takei, Masi Oka, Randall Park, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brenda Song, and Darren Barnet.

“Our story is a larger-than-life action-adventure that takes place 400 years ago, yet ‘Blue Eye Samurai’s’ themes are of the moment and the inspiration is deeply personal,” Green and Noizumi said. “We are grateful for Netflix’s...

Netflix has unveiled the trailer for “Blood of Zeus,” a new anime original from the studio behind the streaming service’s popular “Castlevania” animated series.

Per Netflix, the show’s synopsis reads: “In a brewing war between the gods of Olympus and the titans, Heron, a commoner living on the outskirts of ancient Greece, becomes mankind’s best hope of surviving an evil demon army, when he discovers the secrets of his past.”

The first half of the trailer is heavy on exposition — an ancient war, an encroaching demon army, a quest for a dead giant’s remains — while its latter half is full of impressively stylized action sequences. The show’s voice cast includes Jason O’Mara, Derek Phillips, Mamie Gummer, Claudia Christian, Elias Toufexias, Melina Kanakeredes, Jessica Henwick, and Chris Diamantopoulos.

“Blood of Zeus,” created by Powerhouse Animation Studios, will premiere October 27 on Netflix.

Though Powerhouse Animation Studios’ “Castlevania...

The He-Man reboot Masters of the Universe: Revelation still managed to plough on with production despite the global pandemic shutting down much of the entertainment industry, and the latest excitable update from showrunner Kevin Smith promises the visuals of the finished series will be something to behold.

We, the unwashed plebs, have yet to be graced with the sight of even a single frame of animation, let alone a trailer, but Smith wants us to be assured of just how good it looks even in an unfinished state. While his easygoing and childlike enthusiasm leads to his extolling the virtues of many things, some of questionable quality, he’s unlikely to give a pre-emptive stamp of approval to something he’s creatively involved in unless he truly believed in what he was saying.

After seeing amazing animatics for 8 episodes so far, I just watched the first fully animated pass of @MastersOfficial.

Netflix adds newly produced films and series to its library every week. But just because something is new, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. In fact, most bits of content are made to profit off some sort of trend. And as a result, their legacies are by no means lasting.

If you care more about quality rather than quantity, then, your best bet may be to dig a little deeper and find those hidden gems that have been stowed away in Netflix’s catalog for quite some time, and are being buried alive underneath piles of new productions. In order to help you along this quest, Collider was kind enough put together a list of such hidden gems and here’s a brief overview of what they found.

First off we got The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Produced last year, this fantasy epic is actually a reboot...

Exclusive: Netflix has ordered eight episodes of Heaven’s Forest, a Ramayana-inspired epic animated action drama series from Castlevania creator Warren Ellis, executive producers Adi Shankar and Kevin Kolde, and Powerhouse Animation.

Written by Ellis, Heaven’s Forest is set in an Indo-futuristic world, with storyline and characters inspired by the Indian mythology of the Ramayana.

Ellis executive produces with Shankar and Kolde. Powerhouse Animation will produce as the animation studio.

“I am delighted to be partnering again with Netflix, my Castlevania comrades, and the Indian creative community, to create this surreal, mythic narrative filled with life and heart,” said Ellis.

The Ramayana, one of the largest ancient epics in world literature, follows Prince Rama’s quest to rescue his beloved wife Sita from the clutches of Ravana with the help of an army of monkeys. It is traditionally attributed to the authorship...

Netflix has confirmed that a whopping 66 new original series, movies and specials will be debuting on the streaming service in October. Leading off the lineup is the eagerly awaited “Breaking Bad” movie, which the streaming service is billing as a “television event.” Emmy winner Aaron Paul reprises his role as Jesse Pinkman, who is on the run as his past catches up with him. The first half of the sixth and final season of the cult favorite “Bojack Horseman” will also drop this month.

Two features with awards buzz are coming to Netflix just weeks after their debuts at the Toronto film festival: “The Laundromat,” Steven Soderbergh‘s wry satire about international financial fraud that showcases Oscar darling Meryl Streep; and “Dolemite Is My Name,” a vehicle for Eddie Murphy who portrays 1970s comedian Rudy Ray Moore.

In the lead-up to Halloween, Netflix is programming a slew of scary fare,...
