It’s been a long time coming – seven years, in fact – but Netflix’s animated adaption of Devil May Cry is almost upon us. The streaming service has announced the series premieres on 3rd April, and there’s a trailer of sorts to accompany the news.
We first heard a Devil May Cry animated adaptation was in the works back in 2018, with Adi Shankar – executive producer on Netflix’s acclaimed Castlevania adaptation and 2023’s Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix – tasked with teasing it into existence.
For a while it seemed like the project might have been quietly shelved, but 2023 proved otherwise, bringing a first look at the show, alongside confirmation its animation was being handled by Studio Mir – the team behind The Legend of Korra.
A year later, Netflix released its first proper trailer for the series, providing a glimpse of a Dante displaying little enthusiasm for buttoning up his shirts. That reveal also pointed to an April 2025 release, which has now been narrowed right down to April 3rd.
