Netflix’s Devil May Cry series starts streaming in April

It doesn’t look like Dante has lost a step for his upcoming animated series. Netflix just released a new trailer for its Devil May Cry adaptation, and it includes the kind of absurd, over-the-top demon-hunting action that has made Capcom’s games so beloved. That means big swords, motorcycle chases, dual-wielding pistols, and… guns hidden in pizza boxes. Even better: we now know when the series will start streaming. The show will hit Netflix in April 2025.
The series was first announced last year, and is helmed by Adi Shankar, who previously worked on Netflix adaptations like Castlevania and Captain Laserhawk. The game series, meanwhile, has been largely quiet since 2019’s excellent return in the form of Devil May Cry 5. (Read our interview with director Hideaki Itsuno right here for more on the game.)
This isn’t Capcom’s first title on Netflix, either. A live-action Resident Evil series debuted in 2022, while a Mega Man movie is also in the works.
