Their character library is unlike anything assembled.” “It’s seriously a joy to work with Capcom. “Kobayashi-san has been wonderful,” said Shankar. He has been working directly with Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a veteran producer at Capcom who worked on the original DMC and Resident Evil games, as well as 2007’s DMC Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, produced by Japanese animation studio Madhouse. “The entire team both from the management side and the creative side have been so incredibly supportive and gracious,” he said. Shankar commented that working with Capcom on this project has been “a dream”. Pratt has recently been cast as the lead in high-profile animated movies based on both Super Mario and Garfield.

“I can also confirm that Chris Pratt won’t be voicing any of the characters,” Shankar joked. “I can confirm that Vergil is in it, as well as Lady, and of course Dante as well,” he said. While Shankar would not reveal specific story details, he confirmed that several DMC franchise favorite characters will appear.

Shankar explained that Season 1 will include “eight episodes”, but that the story will not conclude there: Just as with Castlevania, he is planning a “multi-season arc”, meaning that it will unfold over multiple connected seasons. The scripts have been written in collaboration with Alex Larsen, who wrote the screenplay for the feature film Bodied (produced by Shankar and Eminem, among others) and who has more recently written on the Netflix anime series Yasuke. “The season 1 scripts are done,” Shankar told IGN Japan in a new interview.
