An animated series adaptation of Capcom’s popular video game franchise 'Devil May Cry' franchise is currently in the works. 

According to IGN, the series is being developed by Adi Shankar, who happens to be the executive producer of Netflix’s 'Castlevania' series. In an interview with IGN, Shankar revealed that his 'Devil May Cry' series “will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.”

Shankar didn't reveal much information about the series but said, "I acquired these (Devil May Cry) rights himself so the jabronis in Hollywood don’t f*** this one up too." He added that he should be allowed more creative freedom by his financial investment as he starts to build his ambitious multiverse.
