Netflix Unveils Devil May Cry Anime Opening Trailer, Hints at Multi-Season Arc

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 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 reflecting the era's spirit, featuring Limp Bizkit and other period-appropriate tracks, along with a synthwave remix of the game's soundtrack by Power Glove.

Shankar further hinted at a multi-season arc, stating that future seasons will boast distinct visual styles and soundtracks to highlight the diversity within the Devil May Cry game franchise.

While plot specifics remain under wraps, the first season is anticipated to adapt elements from the Devil May Cry 3 manga, Code 1: Dante, centering on a young Dante's investigation into a child's disappearance, forcing him to confront his father Sparda's legacy and his own family history.

The eight-episode first season is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025.
