What Do We Know About Devil May Cry?

The Series Drops in April

The Devil May Cry anime venture was disclosed quite some time back in 2018 when Adi Shankar obtained the rights to the title, with scripts being finalized along with Alex Larsen by November 2021. The initial teaser for the anime was unveiled in 2023. It might seem as though this is the first time the series has been adapted into an anime, but there was indeed a 2007 Devil May Cry anime produced by Capcom and Madhouse, the renowned studio behind numerous successes from the 2000s and 2010s such as Death Note, Death Parade, the first season of One Punch Man, among others.

This particular production stands out because it’s overseen by the same producer as the acclaimed “Castlevania” series, which has achieved remarkable success in recent times. The forthcoming anime is being developed by Studio MIR (known as LOOKISM), and will debut on Netflix on April 3. The initial season of “Devil May Cry” promises eight episodes, with a primary focus on the characters Dante, Vergil, and Lady. At present, Johnny Yong Bosch is the only confirmed cast member, but further details about the team and actors are expected to be disclosed at a later time.

Devil May Cry will premiere on Netflix on April 3.
