There’s Gonna Be More Castlevania Cartoon
The Castlevania show on Netflix was awesome as hell. Badass vampire and monster action, great heroes, great villains, and just an all around wonderful story across four seasons. But it came to an end and surely that was that. Nope! We’re gonna get a sequel show following a different Belmont.
Castlevania: Nocturne looks cool. Take everything awesome from the first show and move it into the French Revolution. Why not? Looks like fun. They’ve lost Warren Ellis as the head writer, it would seem. No reason to fear. He was good, but perhaps these new guys will be good too.
Castlevania: Nocturne comes to Netflix on Sept. 28.

Strange Planet is Getting a Cartoon
Remember that webcomic Strange Planet by Nathan Pyle that took off a few years ago? It’s getting a whole cartoon series! I loved that comic, still enjoy it, and this blows my mind. How are they gonna turn that into a cartoon?
All I can think about this comic nowadays is how I gave my dad the collected edition for Christmas one year and he said it was just Coneheads. I never watched much Coneheads and barely remember the movies…but is it just Coneheads?! I guess we’ll find out.
Strange Planet is coming to AppleTV+ on Aug. 9.

Only Leigh is Posting Again!
One of my favorite random Internet content creators is Only Leigh, a YouTube cartoonist who did a bunch of funny parody videos several years ago. Well she’s back, making more videos! In a post on YouTube, she said she went off into the big, wide world and worked some entertainment jobs and more, and is now back to do her own thing.
I don’t watch Bluey, but this definitely sounds like everything I’ve heard about Bluey.
Anyway, Only Leigh’s videos are fun and I enjoy sharing them and spreading the word that she’s making them. So watch and enjoy! And I fully vote for more Belle and Tina time traveling adventures. Having your own IP is a ton of fun!

The Flash, Animated
The Flash movie is gonna be the biggest bomb of all time, so huzzah for that and good luck to Blue Beetle. But The Flash still happened, and there’s plenty of meat to work with for our pal at Tell It Animated! Enjoy his designs of the Flash’s red costume with yellow accents!
Another banger of an episode. Sometimes I wonder if he should better time these things with the actual film release…but I think The Flash came out on digital release recently? And perhaps he wanted to wait to recap the final scenes in The Flash. Either way, it’s an all-encompassing episode that shows off the Flash, as it is supposed to.
Now do Robin!

Comic-Con Cartoon Trailers Ahoy!
It’s the Sunday of San Diego Comic-Con, so it’s a good day to just dump all the great trailers we saw this weekend. Mostly it was trailers for some of my favorite cartoon shows, which are all coming back for new seasons soon. So rather than parse them out over the next week, let’s pile them on and talk about them!
First up is the trailer for season 4 of Harley Quinn. I love this show and can’t wait for more episodes!
Harley Quinn is a great show and they’ve shown no signs of slowing down as we get into more seasons. It’s maybe not as sharp as the first two seasons, which were made back-to-back, but it’s still hugely entertaining and super fun. This season we’ve been told we’ll get more focus on Poison Ivy, and watching them maintain their relationship while on different sides of the hero/villain conflict should be a hoot.
Harley Quinn season 4 comes to Max on July 27, so next week!
Next up is the first look at season two of Invincible! Love this show as well, can’t wait for new episodes!
I’ve read the entirety of the Invincible comic after buying the three big compendiums, so I’m ready to see this show go all the way. The first season was great stuff, and hopefully season 2 will continue that greatness. There’s a ton of material to work with, a ton of great moments and characters to play around with. Can’t wait to see how they do it!
Invincible season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.
Sticking with cartoons, how about the season 4 trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks! Between the last season and this one, I’ve watched the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1, so I’m big into Star Trek these days. I haven’t watched the crossover episode yet.
Lower Decks is a super fun show and I can’t wait to see what they do in season 4, especially with the new Vulcan character, T’Lyn joining the crew. Looks like super fun to me. All of these look like fun. All of these look like more of the same stuff that we know and love, and that’s exactly what I’d like to see with Lower Decks. They’ve been doing a great job so far, and they should nail it with a new season of hijinks and Star Trek coolness.
Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 7.
Alright, three is enough for me. These are my three most excited for shows from the trailers we got. I’ll probably share some of the other trailers later.
