Netflix has dropped the first teaser trailer for its upcoming anime adaptation of the beloved video game franchise, Devil May Cry.
The series is executive produced by Adi Shankar, known for his work on the Castlevania anime for Netflix, and animated by Studio MIR, the studio responsible for The Legend of Korra, My Adventures with Superman, and The Boondocks.
“Rest assured, we are working very hard because we love the franchise and because we want to deliver something great,” Shankar says. “Our goal wasn’t just to pump out another animated show. My goal is to make one of the best shows on the Netflix platform — period.”
Devil May Cry is not the first time the video game series has been adapted into an anime. In 2007, Madhouse produced a 12-episode anime series that followed Dante’s adventures as a devil hunter for hire. It was set between the events of the first and second games and featured original characters and stories.
The Devil May Cry anime series is slated to premiere in April 2025, exclusively on Netflix.
