Netflix hosted a Drop 01 livestream today, taking the opportunity to tease the Devil May Cry animated series. Capcom’s action series is coming to Netflix, with Castlevania producer Adi Shankar and Studio Mir (My Adventures with Superman) on board.
While we don’t get to see much of it, Dante looks pumped enough as he backflips, shoots, and dodges incoming attacks. Check out roughly five seconds of footage sandwiched between some menacing title cards below.
Adi Shankar first revealed his acquisition of the Devil May Cry series rights back in November 2018. Two more seasons of Castlevania have made their way to fans since, and the Richter-centric Castlevania: Nocturne premieres tomorrow. As for Devil May Cry, its status still says “coming soon,” so we’ll have to wait to see exactly when it drops.
Other folks involved in the series include writer Alex Larson, Seung Wook Lee of Studio Mir, and Devil May Cry sequel director Hideaki Itsuno. Itsuno already assured everyone he’s “supervising it properly.”
Netflix’s Devil May Cry series isn’t Dante’s first animated spin. The Son of Sparda previously hit the screen in the appropriately titled Devil May Cry: The Animated Series anime. That one ran for 12 episodes in 2007 and came from Madhouse (One-Punch Man) and director Shin Itagaki (Berserk 2016). The series was written by Toshiki Inoue, known for anime like Death Note and live-action shows like Choujin Sentai Jetman. Whenever “soon” ends up being, we’ll finally see how Dante holds up 16 years after his last animated outing.
