Set to the iconic sound of Papa Roach’s “Last Resort”, the new trailer gives us explosive action, fan-favorite characters, and one hell of a good time. So, let’s dive into all the details — from the release date and voice cast to the insane story that’s about to unfold.

Devil May Cry Netflix Release Date & Trailer Breakdown
Mark your calendars and get your pizza ready because Devil May Cry is dropping on April 3, 2025, exclusively on Netflix.
The trailer gives us two glorious minutes of everything we could possibly want from a Devil May Cry adaptation:
- Dante’s cocky attitude and slick moves
- Insane over-the-top action with guns and swords flying everywhere
- Fan-favorite characters like Lady and Vergil making their grand entrance
- A mysterious villain known as the White Rabbit, who seems dead set on ushering in a new demon-dominated world order
And let’s not forget that final shot — a tease of the ultimate sibling rivalry between Dante and his twin brother Vergil. If you’ve played Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening, you know exactly how epic this fight is going to be.
Story — What’s Devil May Cry All About?
If you’re new to the DMC universe, here’s a quick crash course:
Dante is a devil hunter-for-hire — part man, part demon, and 100% badass. Armed with his iconic sword Rebellion and his twin pistols Ebony and Ivory, Dante spends his days taking down demons while oozing style and sarcasm.
The anime takes inspiration from Devil May Cry 3, serving as a prequel to the original game’s events. We meet a younger, more reckless Dante, just getting his start as a professional demon slayer.
Netflix’s official description reads:
“In this animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game and from the vision of Adi Shankar, sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.”
Expect plenty of stylish action, snarky one-liners, and a whole lot of demon blood.
Voice Cast — A Star-Studded Lineup
This show isn’t just bringing the action — it’s packing some serious talent too.
- Dante — Johnny Yong Bosch (Bleach, Trigun)
- Lady — Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween 2007, The Runaways)
- White Rabbit — Hoon Lee (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
- Enzo Ferino — Chris Coppola (Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul)
- VP Baines — Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) — in one of his final voice roles
Yes, you read that right — Johnny Yong Bosch, aka Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach and Vash the Stampede from Trigun, will be voicing Dante. And considering Bosch also voiced Nero in the DMC games, it’s basically the ultimate crossover event for Devil May Cry fans.
We’re also getting a bittersweet farewell to the late, great Kevin Conroy, the definitive voice of Batman, who lends his talent to this series in one of his final performances.
The Creative Team — A Dream Collaboration
The Devil May Cry Netflix anime brings together some of the biggest names in animation and gaming:
- Showrunner — Adi Shankar (Castlevania)
- Animation Studio — Studio Mir (X-Men ’97, Harley Quinn, My Adventures with Superman)
- Executive Producer — Hideaki Itsuno (Devil May Cry game series, Dragon’s Dogma)
With Adi Shankar at the helm — the same guy who gave us the brilliant Castlevania adaptation — and Studio Mir bringing their stunning animation style, this is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most ambitious anime projects yet.
