A new trailer and key visual have been released for Netflix’s upcoming Devil May Cry animated series, previewing Dante’s exciting battles with several demonic enemies. The series will debut on the streaming service April 3, 2025 and consist of eight total episodes.
The trailer highlights Dante’s adept gunslinging skills against many formidable demons, which set to a remixed version of Papa Roach’s 2000 nu-metal single “Last Resort.” Additionally, the show’s main opening theme is “Rollin’” by American rock band Limp Bizkit.
Johnny Yong Bosch is voicing the series’ protagonist, Dante, in the new animated series. He previously voiced the character Nero in the video games Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5.
Other cast members include Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, the late Kevin Conroy as VP Baines, and Chris Coppola as Enzo.
The new series 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.” Studio Mir is the animation production company for the series.
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?).
Synopsis:
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.
