Netflix’s ‘Devil May Cry’ Anime Arriving April 2025 [Trailer]
Netflix will raise hell in April 2025 when their anime adaptation of Devil May Cry arrives on the service. The announcement was part of a new trailer for the anime, which is being handled by Korean animation company Studio Mir and creator Adi Shankar.
While it’s certainly not the same style of animation as the 2007 anime series, the trailer does provide plenty of eye candy. Namely, Dante flipping about and flashing his moves, gunplay (no Ebony and Ivory, though), and demons.
It’s still unclear as to what the story for the series will be. The appearance of the White Rabbit from the Devil May Cry 3 manga “Code 1: Dante” seems to suggest that the anime takes place before the events of the first game, but that’s speculation on our part.
The announcement for the Devil May Cry adaptation comes on the heels of Netflix announcing that the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne will also be arriving in 2025.
The third trailer for creator Ryan Murphy’s “The Shards”, based on the 2023 prep school thriller novel by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, laments how hard kids had it in 1981.
To be fair, there’s a serial killer on the loose and a lot of backstabbing in the trailer below.
Look for “The Shards” to premiere on FX and Hulu on August 5 at 6 p.m. PT.
Igby Rigney (“The Fall of the House of Usher”), Homer Gere (“The Agency”), Graham Campbell, Kaia Gerber (Shell), Evan Rachel Wood (“Westworld”), Igby Rigney, Wes Bentley, and Hayes Warner star.
Set in 1981 Los Angeles, the semi-autobiographical, dark coming-of-age tale follows a 17-year-old Ellis during his final year at the elite Buckley prep school. Upending the character’s world is the arrival of a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory, whose unsettling presence coincides with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler.
In the series, Rigney will portray Ellis, and Campbell will play Thom. Gere, son of actor Richard Gere, has been cast as Robert Mallory. Frequent Murphy collaborator Max Winkler (“American Horror Story,“ “Grotesquerie”) is attached to direct.
The series is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.
