Netflix Unveils Devil May Cry Anime Opening Trailer, Hints at Multi-Season Arc
Following the announcement of the Devil May Cry anime's premiere date, Netflix dropped the series' electrifying 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. He highlighted the series' late 90s/early 2000s setting, emphasizing that the Limp Bizkit track perfectly encapsulates the era's vibe. The soundtrack will reportedly feature other period-appropriate music, along with a synthwave reimagining of game soundtracks by Power Glove.
Shankar hinted at a multi-season plan, stating that future seasons will boast unique visual styles and soundtracks to reflect the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games.
Plot specifics remain under wraps. 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 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 premieres April 3, 2025.
