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. Set to Limp Bizkit's iconic "Rollin'," the trailer showcases dynamic action sequences featuring a young Dante, Lady, and the White Rabbit, peppered with nods to the game franchise.
Showrunner Adi Shankar elaborated on his vision for the series. The anime's 90s/early 2000s setting is perfectly complemented by its soundtrack, he explained. Beyond Limp Bizkit, expect other period-defining tracks, alongside a synthwave remix of the game's soundtrack by Power Glove.
Shankar hinted at a multi-season arc, promising distinct visual styles and soundtracks for future installments to reflect the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games.
Plot specifics remain under wraps, but the first season is anticipated to draw inspiration from the Devil May Cry 3 manga, Code 1: Dante. This adaptation centers on a young Dante investigating a child's disappearance, a case that forces him to confront his father Sparda's demonic legacy and his own family history.
The eight-episode first season premieres April 3, 2025.
