Netflix has revealed a new look at its upcoming Devil May Cry animated series. 

Netflix has released a new trailer for its upcoming Devil May Cry animated series. The TV series will adapt the events of Capcom’s acclaimed action game franchise of the same name, following the adventures of a highly skilled demon hunter named Dante. The series was produced and created by Adi Shankar, who also produced Netflix’s Castlevania and its follow-up, Castlevania: Nocturne. 

Devil May Cry will hit the streaming service some time in 2025. Watch the trailer below:

Netflix drops new trailer for Devil May Cry animated series

Adi Shankar (Dredd, Castlevania) first announced that he was producing an adaptation of Capcom’s action game franchise Devil May Cry all the way back in 2018, before the project seemingly entered development hell for many years. That is, until Netflix officially announced the series with Capcom and Devil May Cry creator Hideaki Itsuno supervising its development last year.

During Netflix’s 2024 Geeked Week presentation, the streamer announced a release window for Devil May Cry: 2025. The announcement was accompanied by an all-new trailer, showing off its protagonist Dante slaying demons while wielding a sword and his twin guns Ebony and Ivory. Johnny Yong Bosch has been confirmed to voice Dante in the series, having also played Nero in Devil May Cry 4 and 5. 

The rest of the trailer runs through more chaotic action scenes animated by Studio Mir (The Legend of Korra, Dota: Dragon’s Blood), before ending with an ominous look at an anthropomorphic white rabbit drinking a cup of tea. As some keen-eyed fans have noted, this rabbit appears to be a returning villain pulled from a cancelled manga adaptation of Devil May Cry 3. 

Devil May Cry will stream on Netflix some time in 2025.
