Netflix Unveils Devil May Cry Anime Opening Trailer, Promises Diverse Future Seasons
Following the announcement of its premiere date, Netflix dropped the opening trailer for its upcoming Devil May Cry anime adaptation. The trailer, set to Limp Bizkit's iconic "Rollin'," showcases dynamic action sequences featuring a young Dante, Lady, and the enigmatic White Rabbit, peppered with nods to the game series.
Showrunner Adi Shankar elaborated on his vision for the anime's future. He explained that the series, set in the late 90s and early 2000s, utilizes a soundtrack reflective of that era, featuring Limp Bizkit and other period-appropriate artists. A synthwave remix of the game's soundtrack by Power Glove is also anticipated.
Shankar hinted at the anime's longevity, stating that future seasons will adopt distinct visual styles and soundtracks to mirror the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games. This strongly suggests the series is planned for multiple seasons.
Plot details remain under wraps, but the first season is rumored to adapt elements from the Devil May Cry 3 manga, Code 1: Dante, focusing on a young Dante investigating a child's disappearance. This investigation will reportedly force him to confront his past, family, and the legacy of his demonic father, Sparda.
The eight-episode first season is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025.
