DEVIL MAY CRY
Season 2
May 12, 2026— Netflix (@netflix) December 12, 2025
The second season of Devil May Cry will premiere worldwide on Netflix on May 12, 2026. Created by Adi Shankar and based on the popular Capcom video game, this season is a full partnership between Shankar, Capcom, and Netflix. Studio MIR, known for animating shows like The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, DOTA: Dragon’s Blood, and The Legend of Korra, handled the animation. Alex Larsen wrote the season, and Hideaki Itsuno from Capcom and Seung Wook Lee from Studio MIR served as Executive Producers. This new season will build upon the story and world even further.
The first season of Devil May Cry successfully blended elements from the video games into a fresh story, which fans loved. The upcoming second season promises to build on that success by delving deeper into Dante’s past and introducing his brother, Virgil. While Virgil briefly appeared in the first season, he’ll be a major character this time around and play a significant role in the new episodes.

In an interview with Esquire, Adi Shankar shared his vision for the future of Devil May Cry. He explained that the first season was intended as an introduction, and the second season will represent a significant shift in storytelling, both in terms of style and overall tone. He emphasized the importance of the character Vergil and described the upcoming season as essentially a brand new show. Shankar also discussed his ambitions for the show’s scale and his hopes for its success on Netflix.
Shankar explained that he has ambitious plans for the second season of Devil May Cry. He wants it to be even more popular than Arcane, which he praised as a huge success. He described his goal as being the underdog that unexpectedly triumphs – like taking on a powerful opponent with minimal resources, but still winning. We’ll find out if he can achieve this with the new season next May, giving viewers another reason to watch Netflix in the new year.
