Netflix's Castlevania showrunner Adi Shankar is officially developing a new anime series for Netflix based on Devil May Cry. 

Announced during Netflix's DROP 01 virtual event, the Devil May Cry anime was also given a short teaser that shows a smiling Dante flipping while shooting his guns (which may be Ebony & Ivory!) and dodging attacks from an off-screen enemy. 

We don't know exactly when this new series will arrive on Netflix, but the streamer provided a description of the anime that will undoubtedly get fans excited for what's to come. 

"In this animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game, sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms," the official description reads. "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." 

The Devil May Cry anime is being developed by Netflix, Capcom, Studio MIR, and Shankar. Shankar will also serve as executive producer alongside Capcom's Hideaki Itsuno and Studio MIR's Seung Wook Lee. Itsuno served as director for multiple Devil May Cry games and Lee is from a team that also helped create The Legend of Korra, My Adventures with Superman, Netflix's Voltron: Legendary Defender and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, and much more.
