Evanescence's 'Afterlife' Debuts in Netflix's 'Devil May Cry' Lyric Video

The new song sets the tone for the animated series premiering April 3, blending gothic themes with a nostalgic early 2000s aesthetic.

Netflix has released a lyric video for Evanescence's new song 'Afterlife,' featuring dramatic visuals from the upcoming 'Devil May Cry' series.
The eight-episode animated adaptation, created by Adi Shankar and produced by Studio Mir, premieres on April 3, 2025, on Netflix.
Showrunner Adi Shankar described the series as a 'melancholic rock & roll Shakespearean tragedy,' exploring themes of trauma, redemption, and the human-demon conflict.
Amy Lee of Evanescence co-wrote 'Afterlife' with Alex Seaver (Mako), capturing themes of pain and resolve that align with the show's emotional depth.
The soundtrack, inspired by early 2000s music, includes reimagined tracks from the video game franchise and complements the series' gothic and operatic tone.
