IGN Fan Fest has released a new sneak peek English clip and visual for Netflix’s upcoming Devil May Cry animated series. The show will debut on the streaming service April 3, 2025 and consist of eight total episodes.
The newest clip showcases Dante saving a woman from dangerous demons by shooting them up. In the end, he struggles to find a witty one-liner to end his battle on.
The show’s main opening theme song is “Rollin’” by American rock band Limp Bizkit. Studio Mir is the animation production company for the series.
Johnny Yong Bosch is voicing the series’ protagonist, Dante, in the new Devil May Cry series. He previously voiced the character Nero in the video games Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5.
The show is inspired by CAPCOM’s popular hack-and-slash game series of the same name. The animation’s showrunner, executive producer, creator Adi Shankar (Castlevania executive producer) told IGN in 2018 that it “will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.”
The main synopsis for the eight-episode series is described as:
In this animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game, sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.
The first Devil May Cry video game was first released in 2001 as a PS2 title (it has since been ported to other platforms). The most recent entry was 2019’s Devil May Cry 5, which was released on the PS4, Xbox One, and Steam (a Special Edition was later released for current-gen consoles in 2020). In addition to the numbered entries, a reboot by Ninja Theory was released in 2013.
The Devil May Cry games previously inspired a 2007 TV anime produced by Madhouse and directed by Shin Itagaki (Black Cat; So I’m a Spider, So What?).
