, looks at the new batch of classics that have emerged from an evolving era of entertainment.
The idea of marathoning TV shows existed before the advent of streaming, but Netflix turned it into a model. Though the term began popping up in the 1990s, the streaming service popularized “binge-watching” in 2013 once Netflix rebranded from a TV-on-DVD mail service to a platform producing original content. In the years since, this model has changed not only the way we as consumers and fans watch television, but arguably also how it’s created and written. More and more shows feel designed from the jump to be binged in one sitting or at least in batches of multiple episodes with changes to traditional pace and structure making the next episode almost imperative to understand what is going on.
Now that we're heading into Memorial Day weekend, the ComingSoon.net staff has shared a few favorite video games, movies, and television shows to help you figure out how to spend the holiday weekend.

Netflix is unfurling its wings one last time, as Castlevania bows out with its final season. While it seems like only yesterday we met the foul-mouthed Trevor Belmont, kind-hearted Sypha, and troubled Alucard, Castlevania promises to crack open the crypt and use season four to round off an epic saga of love, lust, and loss.

Following the cliffhanger ending of season three, the forces of Carmilla are ready to rid the world of humans, Isaac questions his loyalties to the vampire world, and Alucard seems to be following in his father’s footsteps. Much like Symphony of the Night, Rondo of Blood, Curse of Darkness, and pretty much any Castlevania game you can name, season four focuses on a tireless mission to resurrect Dracula. As someone rightly says, ‘This is about Dracula, isn’t it?’.

Netflix’s Castlevania Season 4 will have Wallachia collapsing into chaos as factions clash. Some attempt to take control, while others are attempting to bring Dracula back from the dead. Nobody is who they seem, and nobody can be trusted. These are the end times.
The Castlevania Season 4 release date is May 13, 2021. The fourth and final season will have 10 episodes in total, which is the same length as the third season.
