Netflix’s Success with Devil May Cry Animation
Netflix is producing more episodes of the animation Devil May Cry, an effort led by Adi Shankar, which has achieved good results on the streaming service and helped Capcom sell more games in the series. Devil May Cry Season 2 was announced in April, but now the first trailer has been shared in advance, which was probably prepared by Netflix for Comic-Con in New York. This is a new look at the animated series produced by the Korean company Studio Mir, which, as expected, is already betting on Virgil to promote it. Devil May Cry Season 1 was among the most viewed globally, with over 21 million hours of viewing in the first days, a figure that only Arcane Season 1 managed to surpass, with 34 million hours of viewing. This means that Devil May Cry Season 1 had a better debut than Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Castlevania Nocturne, popular animated series on Netflix’s streaming service. Devil May Cry has already doubled the total viewing hours of Tomb Raider in the first days and weeks on the service.
Impressive Viewer Numbers
Devil May Cry Season 1 was a massive success for Netflix, with millions of hours of viewing within the first days of release. The popularity of the series has surpassed other well-known animated shows on the platform, solidifying its position as a fan-favorite. The partnership between Netflix and Capcom has proven to be a lucrative one, with both parties benefiting from the success of the Devil May Cry animated series.
