Devil May Cry Netflix Creator Has Good Advice For Bloodborne Movie Team
Adi Shankar, known for his successful video game adaptations including Castlevania and Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, continues his collaboration with Capcom on the Netflix Devil May Cry series. The animated adaptation’s first season, which premiered in 2025, received widespread critical acclaim from both fans and critics.
The second season, currently in development, will deepen the narrative focus on the legendary brothers Dante and Vergil. The story will explore their shared origins, the tragic family event that set them on divergent life paths, and how their contrasting perspectives influence both their personal destinies and the fate of the wider world. Notably, the new season will draw inspiration from Devil May Cry 2, historically one of the most contentious entries in the video game series.
Shankar brings considerable experience in translating interactive narratives to animated format, having successfully overseen multiple seasons of Castlevania with Konami and Netflix, as well as working with Ubisoft on the Captain Laserhawk adaptation. The favorable reception of Devil May Cry’s first season demonstrates his proven ability to adapt challenging source material for streaming audiences.
