Devil May Cry is an iconic video game franchise that brings back so many memories for individuals of a certain age. Netflix decided to bring the demon hunter, Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch), to the small screen in its animated series of the same name, and the first season proved to be incredibly successful. Dante's skirmishes and battles with the demons from Hell, led by the White Rabbit (Hoon Lee), culminated in the season finale wherein the barrier separating the Human World and Hell split. The animated series was created by Adi Shankar and Alex Larsen, with the series renewed for a second season just one week after its debut on Netflix. Having only recently arrived, a second season of Devil May Cry might still be a ways off, but Shankar is already teasing what audiences might expect.

Taking to his personal X account, producer and showrunner Shankar revealed some thoughts...

Usually, it takes weeks to a few months for a series to be renewed. That wasn't the case for Netflix's Devil May Cry, created by film producer, screenwriter, and director Adi Shankar and animated by South Korean Studio Mir. Just one week after its release on April 3, 2025, the animated fantasy action series was renewed for a sophomore season. With only eight episodes, Devil May Cry holds an approval rating of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider's Aidan Kelley calling it "one of the best new animated shows of 2025." Praise this high might be nerve-wracking for most creators, with the pressure of keeping it up for the next season. However, Adi Shankar used the debut season as a "gateway drug" and said the next will be "different."

During an interview with Esquire, Shankar said his plan was always to expand the popular animated fantasy action series, and for Season 2, the storytelling is going to pivot.

When the forces of hell are after you, it'll be smart to ask for a bit of help. In the new Netflix animated series, Devil May Cry, that help does not get better than the demon hunter, Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch). In a successful first season, Dante squares up with the unyielding White Rabbit (Hoon Lee), who would enact the final stage of his plan in the season finale and break the barrier separating the Human World and Makai (aka Hell or the Demon Underworld). The animated series was created by series creators Adi Shankar and Alex Larsen, with Shankar a devout fan of the property. With a second season already ordered, Shankar is set to build up a new universe based on a property he loves dearly.

Season 2 of Devil May Cryis on the way, and with it will come the continuation of Dante and Lady/Mary Arkham's (Scout Taylor-Compton) story.

Guitarist Lita Ford was not pleased with the 2010 biopic The Runaways, saying it wasn’t an accurate depiction of her former band of the same name, while adding she’s no fan of ex-bandmate Joan Jett or actress Kristen Stewart (who played Jett in the movie).

The film starred Dakota Fanning as singer Cherie Currie, Scout Taylor-Compton as Ford, and Stewart as Jett, with most of the attention focused on Currie and Jett, as well as manager Kim Fowley (played by Michael Shannon).

In a new interview with The Boom Boom Room, hosted by former boxer Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, Ford reflected on the movie. “I felt that The Runaways movie was all about Joan, and the stories that they told about Joan were just not accurate,” said Ford (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). “They really made her to look larger than life. And I just...

That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Movie: "Researched over the course of seven years, That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Movie explores the cyclical rise and fall of the cinematic witch in American culture and her relationship to feminist movements over time.

Through historical analysis and dozens of case studies, Payton McCarty-Simas analyzes how the witch came to be understood as the ultimate cultural bogeywoman on the one hand and a classic feminist symbol of empowerment on the other.

It traces the representation of “demonic women” in the past decade back to older horror cycles and through the “New Age” section of your local bookstore, investigating the (counter)cultural shifts along the way.

The book is a deep dive that demonstrates how changes in cinematic portrayals of the witch over time reflect major shifts in how feminism is perceived politically and interpreted culturally in America.

It’s good to know that the game will still be playable,...

There’s a razor-thin line between Star Trek and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Numerous actors and other talent have crossed from one franchise into another, including a married couple, though more on them in a few moments. There’s Leslie Hoffman, who played the hall guard in the original Elm Street fright fest and worked on both Deep Space Nine and Voyager as an actor, stunt performer, and/or stunt coordinator. Mimi Craven, who portrayed Jisa in the Voyager episode “Dragon’s Teeth,” appeared as a nurse in Elm Street 1. David Andrews, who made his big-screen debut in Elm Street 1, later guest-starred as Lorian, the son of T’Pol and Trip Tucker in an episode of Enterprise.

And the list goes on and on. Makeup impresario Mark Shostrom worked on Elm Street 2 and 3, and later won an Emmy Award for the Voyager episode “Threshold,” sharing it with Michael Westmore and several fellow collaborators.

While she may be best known to horror fans as the ever-resourceful Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors before going on to play herself in Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Heather Langenkamp has been slaying it both on the screen and behind the scenes for years, from playing Dr. Georgina Stanton in Mike Flanagan's The Midnight Club and portraying Ellenor in Spider One's Little Bites to writing and directing the short film Washed Away and doing amazing makeup effects work alongside her husband, David Leroy Anderson, at Afx Studio on phenomenal films such as Dawn of the Dead (2004), Cinderella Man, and The Cabin in the Woods.

Staying as busy as ever these days, Heather Langenkamp is continuing to leave a memorable mark on cinema with her latest role as Ruth Dillon, the sister of a man (Steve Mize...

Has Christmas come early? It seems like it has for horror fans, as Netflix just renewed its new hit animated horror series, Devil May Cry, for a second season. While not totally surprising given how it has performed on the streaming platform so far, it's still thrilling news for fans who were left wanting more of Dante’s demon-slaying adventures.

The eight-episode first season just premiered on Netflix on April 3, so the renewal arriving this quickly speaks volumes about the show's immediate impact. The animated horror series has been very successful and popular with viewers, and has even been a hit with critics, receiving mostly positive reviews. In fact, the show is currently sitting at the No. 7 spot on Netflix's top 10 TV shows list.

As reported by Netflix, the animated series ranked fourth in the streamer's global top 10 rankings when it debuted, with 5.3M views within the first three days of its release.

Hell is about to get a whole lot hotter! Today Netflix announced that it's officially renewed Adi Shankar's animated Devil May Cry series for a second season. And barely a week after the series premiered on April 3, no less!

Devil May Cry is a pulse-pounding action series which follows Dante, a red trenchcoat-wearing devil hunter with a bad attitude and even badder moves, as he slices through the demon armies of hell. It's based on the long-running video game series from Capcom, which has built legions of fans over the years with its stylish high-octane gameplay, gothic atmosphere, and memorable characters. Shankar's series successfully translated the franchise to the small screen while carving out a totally new story, and it's clearly gone over well.

"Season 1 debuted at #4 on the global top 10 list with 5.3M views in just three days, reached the top 10 in 87 countries and boasts a 95% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes,...

Netflix has confirmed that Devil May Cry is the latest critically-acclaimed video game adaptation to land a coveted season renewal. The dark fantasy action series has quickly become a hit with critics and audiences alike on the streamer, so it's not shocking that Netflix has moved quickly to get Season 2 off the ground as soon as possible.

Netflix announced on social media that Devil May Cry would return for another season on the streaming platform. The anime hails from Adi Shankar and stars Johnny Yong Bosch (Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War) as Dante, Scout Taylor-Compton (The Runaways) as Mary, Hoon Lee (Banshee) as White Rabbit, Kevin Conroy as VP Baines, and Chris Coppola (Beowulf) as Enzo. Devil May Cry Season 2 will likely see the return of most of the aforementioned names, as well as some potential new faces. Check out the plot synopsis below for Devil May Cry:

"In this...

Devil May Cry is one of the most popular video game series of all time. The original game appeared in 2001 and since then, numerous installments have been released, with Dante, the franchise’s protagonist, becoming one of the best-known video game characters of all time.

The series has also received numerous adaptations, including an older anime series, and a new, animated series that was released by Netflix earlier this month.

The new animated series, titled Devil May Cry, has eight episodes as of the time of writing, but fans can rejoice, as it has been confirmed that the series will return with a second season at a later date.

Save your tears, Devil May Cry fans, for Netflix has renewed the series for a second season. News came out today that the adult animated series will return for a follow-up installment just one week after it celebrated its debut on the streamer. In its few days out in the world, the production has become a huge hit, garnering positive reviews from critics and fans alike. While it may be a challenge to appease a video game fanbase when crossing into television or film territory, series creator, Adi Shankar(The Guardians of Justice), had the experience needed to solidify a hit for the game’s massive following.

Following in the footsteps of the Capcom game that it spawned from, Devil May Cry centers around Dante. Dante is the kind of guy you’d want on your side if the forces of hell were after you, but it’s a career and not a hobby,...

Netflix’s Devil May Cry is making a lot of noise and for all the right reasons, as the series has become one of the greatest video game adaptations as it brings the enchanting video game by Capcom to the world of animation. The series is being celebrated because of its brilliant narrative, evolving characters, marvelous animation quality, and the story flow.

However, there is one more aspect that helped the series earn fame and recognition in a big way. This aspect is the voice acting of the cast who played the characters within the Devil May Cry and one character in particular was a fan-favorite. This character is none other than Vice President Baines, who was played by the late actor Kevin Conroy.

Devil May Cry:...

Taking a look at the new series Devil May Cry, a number of descriptive words come to mind. It's another exciting Netflix anime, a video-game adaptation, an action-horror show, and a blast of metal music-laced chaos. Anyone who's familiar with the five video games and has perhaps played at least one of Capcom's five titles will certainly tune in to see what the new series from showrunner Adi Shankar (Dredd producer) is all about. MovieWeb was able to catch up with Shankar as the series dropped on Netflix to learn what he's most excited for fans to experience.

"There's so much. I mean, it's a love letter to Capcom, it's a love letter to Hollywood blockbusters from 1999 to 2003, it's a love letter to nu-metal music, it's a love letter to long-time fans, newer fans. It's just the whole thing," Shankar told us. "It was really just a dream come...

Netflix's first tussle with Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch), the demon slayer, has come to an end in "Devil May Cry," teeing up another chapter that will have fans of the long-running video game franchise itching to press their Devil Trigger and see what happens next. Fighting its way to becoming one of the best animated shows on Netflix for some, things ended with Dante seemingly being taken out of action and Vice President Baines (voiced by the late Kevin Conroy in one of his last roles outside his final stint as Batman) invading Makai, teeing up hell on Earth as a permanent situation. 

The good news is that our dual-pistol-wielding hero will somehow bust free from captivity and fight the good fight to ensure the bad guys don't bring eternal darkness to humanity. Now the question is: Which villains will be there to try and stop Dante from completing his mission?...

“Devil May Cry” – the latest Netflix animated series based on a video game – has finally arrived.

Steered by Ari Shankar, who was also responsible for the critically successful “Castlevania” series also at Netflix, the new “Devil May Cry” show brings the classic violent gunplay combat from the video game along with the grungy late ’90s/early ’00s vibe and music that was popular at the time of its original release.

Here are the familiar faces voicing the biggest characters in the new series in our complete “Devil May Cry” cast and character guide.

Adi Shankar's "Devil May Cry" is a labor of love, a passionate reinvention of the eponymous video game franchise that is known (and loved) for its signature eccentricity. Speed and agility are at the core of any "Dmc" gameplay, combined with highly-stylistic combat flourishes that can lead up to insane chain attacks and combos. Beneath these slick, over-the-top sensibilities (which have gifted the community with wondrous memes) lies dense, sprawling lore about demonic rebellions, primordial guardian swords, and the most complex, trauma-infused sibling relationship known to man.

While Netflix's "Devil May Cry" leans confidently towards the franchise's effortlessly cool aesthetics, it also brings the best parts of the often confusing video game lore to life. There are plenty of pleasant surprises here, as Shankar repackages familiar threads into something wholly different. For example, White Rabbit (Hoon Lee) — featured only in the "Devil May Cry 3" manga — is presented as the unexpected antagonist here,...

Netflix’s “Castlevania” requires no introduction. Based on the eponymous hack-and-slash roleplaying game series, “Castlevania” has helped set a significantly high bar for video game adaptations that reinvent its source material. Although the story beats are familiar, the series succeeds in delivering a horror-first, visceral vision of dark fantasy cushioned with beautifully fleshed-out characters. Adi Shankar, one of the executive producers of the “Castlevania” series, has taken it upon himself to infuse yet another popular video game franchise with a spirited adaptation brimming with heart.

The franchise in question is none other than “Devil May Cry,” an artistic entity so singular and eccentric that it altered the tint of ultra-stylistic chain attack combat since its first installment in 2001. This is not the first animated series to tackle “Dmc” with a spin, but it is one that will be remembered for its gutsy, wondrous exploration of the source material, which it clearly has deep respect for.

The director of Netflix's new Devil May Cryanime series promises the "youngest version of Dante" fans have ever seen.

Speaking to Cbr, director, developer and executive producer Adi Shankar has explained how the upcoming Devil May Cry series' setting and time period provides the foundation for a more grounded version of the story. "It's the Dante you know, the youngest version of the Dante you know," Shankar stated. "[I took] the Dante you know, and I plopped him into New York City. And I think what I was trying to do was approach this adaptation, this new cinematic universe, with psychological realism. Okay? Emotional realism, psychological realism. How do these characters react? And, how does the world at large react to these revelations?"

“Devil May Cry” is keeping the late ’90s/early ’00s throwback train rollin’ with the reveal of its official soundtrack.

In addition to Limp Bizkit‘s “Rollin’,” a remix of Papa Roach‘s “Last Resort,” and the new Evanescence single “Afterlife,” the show will feature “Guerrilla Radio” by Rage Against the Machine, “Butterfly” by Crazy Town, “Ghost” by Gunship, and an as-yet-unspecified Green Day song.

Synthwave duo Power Glove also puts its spin on two Devil May Cry 5 tracks composed by Casey Edwards, “Bury the Light” and “Devil Trigger.”

Based on the Capcom video game franchise, the eight-episode animated series releases tomorrow, April 3, on Netflix.

Nearly seven years sinceCastlevania producer Adi Shankar first acquired the rights to Devil May Cry, Capcom's demon hunter-for-hire Dante is finally about to grace our screens in smokin' sexy style. After a bevy of teasers in recent years, and even a new song from the band Evanescence celebrating the occasion, the animated series premieres on Netflix on April 3, and, according to the creator, it's about to be big. Shankar has previously stated his goal from the get-go was to make "one of the best shows on the Netflix platform, period," even if it took longer to get there eventually. In an interview with GamesRadar+, he's now sharing how Hollywood blockbusters like Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy inspired his journey to adapting the white-haired hero to television.

Shankar's Devil May Cry follows Dante as he battles against demons while sinister forces work to open a portal between the human and demon realms.

Capcom’s Devil May Cry is the most stylish goth-punk hack-and-slash video game series on the planet, and its long-awaited animated adaptation is finally coming to Netflix with dual guns blazing. The show’s creator, Adi Shankar (best known for his work on Castlevania), has a history of turning video games into impressive and successful animated series, so fans are in good hands with him at the helm. Based on the trailers alone, Devil May Cry will have all the over-the-top action, ridiculous one-liners, and nu metal anthems that fans of the game series could ever hope for.

At least part of what makes Netflix’s Devil May Cry so highly-anticipated by fans is just how long they’ve had to wait for it to finally come to fruition. The anime was first announced 7 years ago in 2018, but wasn’t officially shown off until 2023 with a first-look trailer. Even this...

Devil May Cry deserves a great anime and by all means, it did get one in 2007. Netflix, however, is doing its take on the legendary video game series. The producer of Netflix’s Castlevania, Adi Shankar, is the creator of Netflix’s Devil May Cry so this isn’t his first rodeo and there’s some experience there.

The graphics will be significantly better than the 2007 Madhouse anime adaptation and it also brags a whole new voice cast. Shankar has plans to extend the animated series into a multi-season arc, similar to Castlevania. This is the only possible way to introduce more characters.

The trailer for Devil May Cry promises a faithful portrayal of Dante, the series’ protagonist. He will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who originally voiced Nero in the video games. There’s no hint of Nero being involved in the first season.

"Castlevania: Nocturne" is a masterpiece of animation. The Powerhouse Animation Studios series combines stunning visuals and kinetic action with poignant script work, complex themes and characters, and vast worldbuilding that leaves you wanting to see more of its universe. It's also a continuation of creator Warren Ellis and producer Adi Shankar's already hugely popular and successful "Castlevania," itself both a phenomenal TV show and an all-time great video game adaptation.

Indeed, we're living at a time when more video games are being re-imagined for film and television than ever before. Not only that, but these projects are also no longer surefire failures. That's especially the case with animation, which is the medium where video game adaptations tend to shine the most. (There's a reason the only "perfect" ones on Rotten Tomatoes are animated.) As such, anticipation tends to be high nowadays whenever a new video game-turned animated TV show starts moving forward.

If Netflix’s upcoming series Devil May Cry is on your watch list, we’ve got great news. Collider is teaming up with the streaming giant to offer fans an exciting opportunity to catch Episodes 1 and 2 on a big screen before the show even premieres. In addition to this special screening, creator, showrunner, and executive producer Adi Shankar (Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix) and vocal leads Johnny Yong Bosch (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and recently-announced Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween) will be joining us after the screenings for an exclusive Q&a and reception. Check out the details below for your chance to win tickets.

The late Kevin Conroy, best known for his iconic portrayal of Batman, is set to make a posthumous return in Netflix’s upcoming Devil May Cry anime.

Netflix has already found astounding success adapting popular video games into animated shows, with Castlevania and Arcane being two of the most celebrated video game adaptations of all time. Devil May Cry is pushing the streamer into a new genre, and that genre is nu metal.

The latest trailer for Netflix's Devil May Cry anime has Dante saying "I work better with music," before setting the trailer to one of the most iconic '00s metal songs. Papa Roach's "Last Resort" scores the demon-slaying trailer that highlights Devil May Cry's gorgeous-looking action. The anime is set to release on Netflix on April 3, 2026, and will run for 8 episodes in its first season.

With the gaming franchise’s increasing fame and Netflix’s penchant for adapting games into anime, it is now Dante’s turn to win the hearts of anime fans as well. With high-intensity action sequences and a stylish demon-hunting guide, the fans are going to be mesmerized and entranced.

The series aims to capture the essence of the beloved Capcom franchise, but before it releases, what hopes should we have for the series? The only way to tell is by examining the cast of the series.

The Devil May Cry franchise is feeding its fans well. Not only does it have multiple games, light novels, manga, and an anime series, but now it has a new animated series by Netflix and Adi Shankar. It’s similar to Netflix’s Castlevania series, which Shankar served as a producer for.

Fans will witness the return of many favorite characters in Netflix’s animated adaptation. The most recent trailer for Devil May Cry ended with Vergil’s entrance, Dante’s older twin brother and one of the main antagonists of the series.

The fresh new voice cast, however, also meant Dan Southworth wouldn’t be his voice actor. Robbie Daymond, who you might recognize as Jujutsu Kaisen’s Megumi Fushiguro, Persona 5’s Akechi Goro, or Hubert von Vestra in the Fire Emblem series, will be voicing the fan-favorite character. However, many feel a bit mixed about the new voice.

Netflix has unveiled the official trailer and cast for its upcoming animated series “Devil May Cry,” set to premiere on April 3, 2025.

The series is based on Capcom’s popular action-adventure video game franchise, which follows the demon hunter Dante in his quest to avenge his mother’s death by eliminating demonic threats.

The newly released trailer showcases high-octane action sequences, featuring Dante wielding his signature sword and dual pistols against various demonic adversaries. Notably, the trailer is set to Papa Roach’s “Last Resort,” evoking early-2000s nostalgia.

The voice cast includes Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, Hoon Lee as the antagonist White Rabbit, Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady, and Robbie Daymond as Vergil.

Produced by Studio Mir, known for works like “The Legend of Korra” and “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf,” the series is helmed by creator and showrunner Adi Shankar, who previously worked on Netflix’s “Castlevania.”

Things are about to get "crazy" on Netflix with the April release of Devil May Cry. The anime TV adaptation of the popular Capcom series released a brand-new trailer, revealing more of its story and celebrated voice cast.

In anticipation of its upcoming release, Netflix debuted a new full-length trailer for Devil May Cry on its official YouTube channel. The nearly two-minute trailer -- set to Papa Roach’s "Last Resort" -- showcased the over-the-top action sequences one would expect from Devil May Cry, alongside the introductions of fan-favorite characters. The White Rabbit is seemingly trying to usher in a new world order dominated by demons, unless the young devil hunter Dante meets with him first. Dante, of course, would never turn down an invitation to a party, especially one as exciting as this.
