A new animated television series based on Capcom's popular video game franchise Devil May Cry has been launched on Netflix. The series has been helmed by Indian-American producer Adi Shankar, while the Animation duties have been carried out by Studio Mir. The story unfolds around Dante, who is a demon hunter hired for jobs that often end in bloodshed. As threats of a demonic invasion grow, Dante is pulled into a conflict with a mysterious soldier named Mary all while a sinister force known only as the White Rabbit pushes Earth towards collapse. The show merges action fantasy with noir-like tension, and has been delivered in a distinct urban tone. Audiences are presented with eight episodes, with each running between twenty-one and thirty-two minutes.
The latest series is now available for streaming on the popular OTT platform Netflix. Interestingly, all episodes have been made available for streaming on the platform.

The animation work has been handled by the South Korean company Studio Mir. The series has been directed by Han Seung-woo, Park So-young, Kim Sun-min, And Hong Jee-young.
A teaser was first made public during Netflix's livestream in September 2023, while the second glimpse of the series trailer hinted at a dark atmosphere with fast-paced combat scenes and stylised visuals. Dante is shown navigating a city overrun with demonic threats. While the introduction of the White Rabbit brings a cryptic angle to the storyline, the series shows includes internal struggles, broken alliances, and battles across realms.
