First announced in 2018, the series is helmed by Adi Shankar, the showrunner behind the acclaimed Castlevania series, and animated by Studio Mir, renowned for their work on The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97. The first season will consist of eight episodes, promising a deep dive into the world of Devil May Cry.

While the plot remains shrouded in mystery, it seems the series will focus on Dante, the iconic protagonist from the first three Devil May Cry games. Johnny Yong Bosch, known for voicing Nero in the video games, will lend his voice to Dante in this adaptation. Although any direct connections to the games are yet to be confirmed, fans can expect a thrilling narrative that captures the essence of the beloved franchise.

The last entry in the Devil May Cry video game series was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. This game marked a triumphant return for the series, following a period of dormancy since DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013. Devil May Cry 5 stands out as one of the best action games available, especially if you've been enjoying titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2 recently.
