Netflix’s Devil May Cry Animated Series Gets Updates From Adi Shankar
In 2018 Netflix’s Castlevania Series producer Adi Shankar announced a new Devil May Cry Animated Series by Netflix to commemorate Devil May Cry 5’s announcement in E3 2018. After 3 years of staying silent, he recently confirmed two big updates about the project on his Instagram.
1. That Dante’s twin brother and Arch nemesis Vergil will make the cut in it,
and 2. The script is reportedly finished.
Our take
While it’s unspecified what timeline this storyline will take place within the game’s lore or if this is something wholly original. It’s good to know that Netflix hasn’t ignored this project to some capacity and hopefully, we can see the project get off the ground. It’s quite understandable that animation can be a very time-consuming process. The fact that Vergil is going to be in it, is a big deal to the fanbase since he wasn’t in the Madhouse Anime series at all. And we can only hope we get more updates down the line and an actual release date in the future.

There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
