There's currently no release date confirmed for the new Devil May Cry series, however. Shankar has also stated the new Devil May Cry will be part of his "bootleg universe," meaning the show and Castlevania could potentially crossover.


In the meantime, Netflix is set to receive a new anime adaptation from Castlevania producer Adi Shankar. When approached as a curio, there's some fun to be had with Devil May Cry: The Animated Series. The show's storylines also feel somewhat aimless. Overall, fans are split on the show, which features a more angsty take on Dante and the inclusion of a kid sidekick called Patty. Devil May Cry: The Animated Series was produced by Madhouse - the same studio behind Black Lagoon and Death Note - and received good reviews for its action sequences. This show takes place between the first and second games and features Dante having random adventures with his demon-slaying business, the aptly titled "Devil May Cry." The show ran for one season and can currently be found streaming on Hulu and Funimation in the U.S it's not currently available on Netflix or Prime.įor non-Hulu or Funimation subscribers, the show can also be purchased from Amazon or iTunes. The franchise did receive an anime in the form of 2007's Devil May Cry: The Animated Series. It would also be tricky for a live-action movie or series to translate the game's unique style of action. While a movie based on Devil May Cry has been rumored over the years, it hasn't yet come to pass.

The series received a reboot with 2013's DMC: Devil May Cry, which had a story supervised by Alex Garland ( Annihilation), but its redesign of Dante and the world surrounding him was met with mixed fan reactions. While Devil May Cry 2 is considered the weakest of the bunch, prequel Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is regarded as argubly the best. Devil May Cry's focus on slick, fast-moving action and tongue in cheek humor made it a hit with players, and a franchise was born.
