Just a week following the debut of the animated series, Netflix has officially greenlit Devil May Cry season 2. This exciting development was announced on Thursday, April 10, 2025, via the platform’s Twitter account, @NetflixAnime. A key visual was unveiled, featuring the iconic character Dante, who appears with glowing red eyes and a pistol aimed offscreen, teasing fans with the promise of the second season labeled as “coming soon.”
Details on Devil May Cry Season 2: What We Know So Far
As of now, Netflix has not provided further details regarding the production timeline or release dates for Devil May Cry season 2. However, the phrase “coming soon”hints at a potential release within the next year, aligning with industry norms. While an earlier release is possible, significant delays are unlikely if everything proceeds smoothly.
In the coming months, fans can anticipate a wealth of promotional content such as trailers, character designs, cast announcements, and theme song details. The swift announcement of the sequel shortly after the series premiere indicates Netflix’s commitment to the project, even amidst mixed reactions from audiences. This suggests a confidence in the series’ future, despite the initial controversies.
It seems plausible that Netflix had intentions for a second season from the beginning, potentially driven by Adi Shankar’s vision for the story. If so, it could already be well into the production phase, although such claims remain speculative at this point with no further information disclosed.
The animated series features voice talent from Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, alongside the late Kevin Conroy voicing V.P. Baines. Adi Shankar serves as the series’ original creator, story writer, and executive producer, with the screenplay crafted by Alex Larsen in collaboration with Shankar. The animation is produced by Studio Mir, with Netflix hosting the series for global audiences.
Importantly, while the series is inspired by the immensely popular video game franchise that debuted in 2001, it is not a direct adaptation. The most recent installment in the game series is Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019, followed by the mobile game Peak of Combat in 2024.
