Netflix Unveils Devil May Cry Anime Series Trailer, Hints at Multi-Season Arc
Following the announcement of the Devil May Cry anime's premiere date, Netflix dropped the series' opening trailer. Set to Limp Bizkit's iconic "Rollin'," the trailer showcases dynamic action sequences featuring a young Dante, Lady, and the enigmatic White Rabbit, peppered with nods to the game franchise.
Showrunner Adi Shankar elaborated on his vision for the anime's future. The series, set in the late 90s and early 2000s, will feature a soundtrack reflecting that era's musical landscape, incorporating tracks beyond Limp Bizkit and a synthwave reimagining of the game's soundtrack by Power Glove.
Shankar hinted at a multi-season plan, stating that future seasons will boast distinct visual styles and soundtracks to highlight the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games.
Plot specifics remain under wraps. However, the first season is anticipated to adapt elements from the Code 1: Dante manga (based on Devil May Cry 3), focusing on a young Dante's investigation into a child's disappearance, forcing him to confront his father Sparda's demonic legacy.
The 8-episode first season is slated to debut on April 3, 2025.
