As Castlevania: Nocturne's first season progressed, Maria showcased her role as a Speaker by constantly evolving throughout its eight-episode run, and the show is likely to build the character more as it continues. After the success of Castlevania, it was natural that Netflix would follow it up with a new series, thus bringing about Castlevania: Nocturne. Castlevania: Nocturne introduced audiences to a new cast of powerful characters to help keep the series fresh, and one of the most memorable was the young aristocrat turned revolutionary Maria Renard.
