Netflix Renews Devil May Cry Animated Series for 2nd Season

Netflix has announced it has renewed the Devil May Cry animated series for a second season. The first season began streaming on Netflix starting April 3, 2025 and contained eight total episodes. It was not announced when the second season will premiere. 

The new series is inspired by CAPCOM’s popular hack-and-slash game series of the same name. The animation’s showrunner, executive producer, creator Adi Shankar (Castlevania executive producer) told IGN in 2018 that it “will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.” Studio Mir is in charge of the animation production for the series. 

Meanwhile, the English voice cast for the series stars: 

• • Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante (previously voiced Nero in Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5)
• • Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary
• • Hoon Lee as White Rabbit
• • Kevin Conroy as VP Baines
• • Chris Coppola as Enzo
• • Robbie Daymond as Vergil

The Japanese dub voice cast includes Toshiyuki Morikawa as Dante, Fumiko Orikasa as Mary, and Hiroaki Hirata as Vergil.

The first Devil May Cry video game was first released in 2001 as a PS2 title (it has since been ported to other platforms). The most recent entry was 2019’s Devil May Cry 5, which was released on the PS4, Xbox One, and Steam (a Special Edition was later released for current-gen consoles in 2020). In addition to the numbered entries, a reboot by Ninja Theory was released in 2013.

The Devil May Cry video games previously inspired a 2007 TV anime produced by Madhouse and directed by Shin Itagaki (Black Cat; So I’m a Spider, So What?).

Netflix describes the main premise of Devil May Cry as:

In this animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game, sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.
