On Monday, March 24, 2025, Netflix officially announced that the rock band Evanescence will perform a new song specifically for the platform’s Devil May Cry animated series. The band shared a snippet of the song on their YouTube channel in the form of a YouTube Short, which included official promotional material from the anime.
As of this article’s writing, it’s unclear where the new song will be featured in the Devil May Cry animated series, as it isn’t specified to be an ending theme song. Assuming Evanescence’s new song isn’t used as an ending theme, fans can expect it to be used heavily throughout the series, given the promotion surrounding it.

Evanescence’s new song for Netflix’s animated series Devil May Cry is titled Afterlife and will be released on streaming services on Friday, March 28, 2025. The band will stream a lyric video featuring exclusive clips from the upcoming animated series on Thursday at 12 PM Eastern Time. This video will be uploaded to the band’s official YouTube channel, where the song's preview was also posted.
As previously mentioned, it’s unclear where the song will be used in the series. As of the time of this article, the opening theme is confirmed to be Limp Bizkit’s Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle), as announced by Netflix several weeks ago. Netflix also revealed the accompanying opening visual sequence. While an ending theme has yet to be announced, it’s unclear whether the upcoming series will have one due to its classification as an animated series rather than an anime.
Johnny Yong Bosch voices the protagonist Dante in the English-dubbed version of the series. The additional English dub cast includes Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, the late Kevin Conroy as VP Baines in a posthumous role, Robbie Daymond as Vergil, and Chris Coppola as Enzo. The currently announced Japanese cast features Toshiyuki Morikawa as Dante, Fumiko Orikasa as Lady, and Hiroaki Hirata as Virgil.
The first season is confirmed to consist of eight episodes and will primarily feature the characters Dante, Vergil, and Lady. The series was initially announced by Adi Shankar in November 2018, who stated at the time that it “will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.” Shankar and Alex Larsen completed the first season’s scripts in November 2021. Studio Mir is responsible for animating the series, which is already confirmed to have multiple seasons planned.
The series will adapt the original video game series of the same name from creator Hideki Kamiya and developer/publisher Capcom. The franchise’s first release took place in August 2001, with the series’ last mainline release coming in 2019 in the form of the fifth main entry. A mobile game titled Peak of Combat was released in 2024.
