Netflix has officially greenlit Season 2 of its hit anime adaptation Devil May Cry, just one week after the series’ debut on April 3, 2025. The announcement was made via Netflix’s social media channels, accompanied by new key art featuring Dante and the tagline: “Season 2 Coming Soon.” Production is slated to begin in summer 2025, signaling a swift continuation of the demon-slaying saga.
What to Expect in Season 2
Season 1 concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger: Dante, the half-demon protagonist, was placed in cryostasis by the enigmatic organization DARKCOM, while his twin brother Vergil reemerged, aligning with demonic forces to ignite a war between realms. Season 2 is expected to delve deeper into Vergil’s complex motivations and his fraught relationship with Dante. Anticipate intensified action sequences and further exploration of DARKCOM’s sinister objectives.
Fans are also speculating about the introduction of iconic characters Lady and Trish, who have yet to appear in the anime but are central figures in the original Capcom game series. Their inclusion could enrich the narrative and provide deeper connections to the game’s lore.
Returning Talent and Creative Team
Johnny Yong Bosch is expected to reprise his role as Dante, following acclaim for his performance in Season 1. Adi Shankar, known for his work on Netflix’s Castlevania, returns as showrunner and executive producer, promising to maintain the series’ high-octane energy and intricate storytelling. Animation will continue to be handled by Studio Mir, the South Korean studio renowned for its work on The Legend of Korra and DOTA: Dragon’s Blood.
Anticipated Release Timeline
While Netflix has not announced an official release date for Season 2, production is set to commence in mid-2025. Considering typical anime production cycles, viewers can likely expect the new season to premiere in late 2026.
