Netflix has recently announced the premiere date for the anime adaptation of *Devil May Cry* and has now unveiled the series' opening trailer. The trailer, set to the iconic "Rollin'" by nu-metal legends Limp Bizkit, showcases dynamic scenes featuring young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit, packed with nods to the beloved video game series.
Showrunner Adi Shankar has shared his ambitious vision for the series, which is set in the late 90s to early 2000s. Shankar believes the soundtrack perfectly captures the essence of that era. Fans can expect not only Limp Bizkit's tunes but also other hits from that period, alongside a reimagined soundtrack from the games by the synthwave duo Power Glove.
Shankar also hinted at the series' future, suggesting that each season will feature a distinct visual style and soundtrack, reflecting the diversity found in the *Devil May Cry* games. This statement indirectly confirms plans for multiple seasons, exciting fans about what's to come.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, the first season is anticipated to be inspired by the manga *Code 1: Dante* (Devil May Cry 3). It will follow a young demon hunter as he delves into the mysterious disappearance of a child, confronting his past, his family, and the legacy of his demon father, Sparda.
The first season of *Devil May Cry* will comprise 8 episodes and is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025. Fans of the franchise can hardly wait to see how this beloved story comes to life on Netflix.
