Ahead of its debut later this year, the first poster for Netflix's Castlevania series has been revealed.

Series producer Adi Shankar unveiled the blood-red art in a post on Facebook , which you can check out below.

As described by Netflix, the series will follow "the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself."

We had the chance to speak with Shankar shortly after Netflix announced the series. He confirmed the show will serve as an adaptation of the classic NES game Castlevania III: Dracula Curse, but couldn't share any additional details about the plot. Shankar did, however, say it will be "done in the vein of Game of Thrones" and "be R-rated as f***."

Castlevania Season 1, Part 1 will release sometime later this year. The season will be broken into four parts, with each episode lasting around 30 minutes.
