Devil May Cry Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on August 14, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated August 14, 2025, 13:50 IST Netflix's Devil May Cry animated series landed like a Rebellion slash in April 2025, hooking fans with its slick demon-slaying action and that classic Dante swagger. The Season 1 finale left jaws on the floor—Lady's betrayal, Dante frozen, and Vergil ready to unleash hell. With Season 2 already greenlit, the hype train's rolling. Here's the latest scoop on release rumors, cast updates, and what's coming next, straight from the rumor mill and fan chatter. When is Devil May Cry Season 2 Dropping? No official date's been spilled for Devil May Cry Season 2, but the tea's brewing. Netflix gave the thumbs-up for another season just days after Season 1 hit, which screams confidence. Looking at Adi Shankar's past gigs, like Castlevania (which dropped new seasons about 15 months apart), a similar timeline feels right. Word is production started around mid-2025, so late summer or fall 2026 seems like a solid guess. Some fans on X are betting on a slightly earlier drop, maybe July 2026, but that's pure hope for now. Keep eyes peeled on Netflix's socials for the real deal. Who's Back and Who's New in Devil May Cry Season 2? The voice cast in Season 1 was fire, and most of the heavy hitters should return. Johnny Yong Bosch, who nailed Nero in the Devil May Cry games, is expected to keep rocking as Dante, serving up that cocky charm. Scout Taylor-Compton's likely back as Lady, whose double-cross left fans shook—her arc's gonna be juicy. Robbie Daymond as Vergil, Dante's brooding twin, is a lock too, especially after that 'war on humanity' bombshell. Tragically, Kevin Conroy (Vice President Baines) and Tony Todd (a mystery role) passed away in 2022 and 2024, so their characters will need new voices. Names like Ian James Corlett are floating around for Baines, but nothing's confirmed. Side characters like Enzo (Chris Coppola) and White Rabbit (Hoon Lee) might not make it back—Season 1 left their fates up in the air. As for fresh faces, fans are begging for game staples like Trish or Nero to show up, tying the anime tighter to the Devil May Cry lore. That shadowy client from the finale? Could be a big bad like Mundus or someone totally new. The speculation's wild, and it's got everyone buzzing. What's the Story in Devil May Cry Season 2? Season 1 ended with a gut-kick: Lady betrayed Dante, DARKCOM's got him on ice, and Vergil's teamed up with demon king Mundus to wreck shop. Season 2's poised to crank things to eleven. Here's what's cooking based on fan theories and hints: Dante vs. Vergil, Round Two : The twins' beef is the heart of Devil May Cry , and Season 2's gotta deliver a banger showdown. Their mom's death still haunts them, so expect some raw, emotional punches alongside katana clashes. : The twins' beef is the heart of , and Season 2's gotta deliver a banger showdown.

Lady's Next Move: Lady's betrayal stung, but her guilt could spark a redemption arc. Will she help Dante or dig a deeper hole? That tension's gonna be a wild ride. Adi Shankar's dropped hints that Season 2 will feel 'different,' with Dante powering up but also growing as a character, not just a demon-killing machine. Think more Ebony and Ivory action, less political fluff, and maybe some nods to the games' iconic style. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Devil May Cry Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Netflix's Devil May Cry animated series has taken the anime world by storm, bringing Capcom's iconic video game franchise to life with slick animation, intense action, and a rebellious punk vibe. After the explosive first season premiered on April 3, 2025, fans were left buzzing with excitement over a major cliffhanger and the official confirmation of Devil May Cry Season 2. If you're eager to know more about the upcoming season, including release date predictions, cast details, and potential plot points, here's everything we know so far about Dante's next demon-slaying adventure. When Can We Expect Devil May Cry Season 2? So, Netflix gave the green light for Season 2 on April 10, 2025, like a week after Season 1 exploded onto our screens. That's a good sign—they know this show's a banger. But here's the kicker: no official release date yet. Bummer, right? Still, we can play detective and piece together a rough timeline. The show's big shot, Adi Shankar, worked on Castlevania , which usually took about 15 months between seasons. If Devil May Cry follows that pattern, and word on the street is production kicked off around summer 2025, we're probably looking at late 2026 for Season 2. Expected Cast for Devil May Cry Season 2 The voice cast in Season 1 was straight-up fire, and most of 'em are probably back to bring the noise in Season 2. Here's the lowdown on who we expect to hear in the new season. Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady (Mary) Robbie Daymond as Vergil Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino Hoon Lee as White Rabbit Kevin Conroy as Vice President Baines The Japanese dub is stacked too, with Toshiyuki Morikawa as Dante, Fumiko Orikasa as Mary, and Hiroaki Hirata as Vergil. Plot Details and Expectations for Season 2 Devil May Cry Season 1 ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger: Dante, betrayed by Lady, was placed in cryostasis by DARKCOM, a government organization aiming to control his power. Meanwhile, Vergil, revealed as 'The Knight' of the demon realm, declared war on humanity, setting the stage for an epic sibling showdown. Here's what we can expect from Season 2's plot based on the finale and the game's lore: Dante and Vergil's Beef: These twins are always at each other's throats, and Season 2's probably gonna lean hard into that. Vergil's demon alliance and war talk scream bad blood. The show's in its own timeline, but it might pull from Devil May Cry 3 's brotherly feud, with some fresh spins. Their mom's death messed 'em both up, so expect some emotional gut-punches. Busting Out of DARKCOM: Dante's not staying frozen forever, right? Season 2's gotta show how he breaks free. Maybe Lady flips sides and helps him, or Vergil's demon squad crashes the party. DARKCOM's up to no good—probably experimenting with demon juice—so figuring out their deal will be a big plot chunk. New Faces, Game Nods: If Trish or Nero pop up, it'll tie the show closer to the Devil May Cry universe. That mystery client from the finale could be a game character or someone new. Shankar's 'Bootleg Multiverse' thing might sneak in Castlevania Easter eggs, but don't expect Alucard to crash the pizza party. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Devil May Cry Season 2: Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 24, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated May 24, 2025, 10:52 IST Netflix's Devil May Cry anime has taken the streaming world by storm, delivering high-octane action and a gripping storyline that has fans clamoring for more. Following the explosive first season, which premiered on April 3, 2025, Netflix quickly confirmed Devil May Cry Season 2, much to the delight of fans worldwide. With a cliffhanger ending that left viewers on edge, anticipation for the next chapter is at an all-time high. Here's everything we know so far about Devil May Cry Season 2. Devil May Cry Season 2 Release Date Speculation While Netflix has officially renewed Devil May Cry for a second season, an exact release date has not been confirmed. Based on the production timeline of Adi Shankar's previous hit, Castlevania , which typically saw a 15-month gap between seasons, we can speculate a potential release window for Devil May Cry Season 2 in summer or autumn 2026. Cast and Characters The voice cast for Devil May Cry Season 2 is expected to see the return of key actors from Season 1, though some changes may occur due to the passing of notable performers. Confirmed and potential returning cast members include: Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante: The charismatic demon hunter, voiced by Bosch, will remain the central figure. Bosch, known for roles in Bleach and Power Rangers , brings a fresh yet faithful take to Dante. Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady: Despite mixed fan reactions to her portrayal, Lady is likely to return, though some X posts suggest her role may be reduced in favor of focusing on Dante and Vergil. Robbie Daymond as Vergil: Vergil's emergence as a key antagonist sets the stage for a significant role in Season 2, with Daymond's performance expected to capture the character's intensity. Hoon Lee as White Rabbit: While the White Rabbit was defeated in Season 1, the series could introduce new villains or revisit his legacy. Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino: A supporting character who may see further development. Plot Expectations for Devil May Cry Season 2 Devil May Cry Season 1 ended on a dramatic note, with Dante captured and placed in cryostasis by DARKCOM, while his brother Vergil emerged as a formidable antagonist, declaring war on humanity as 'The Knight' under King Mundus. Season 2 is expected to dive deeper into the complex relationship between Dante and Vergil, exploring their sibling rivalry and contrasting paths. The narrative will likely focus on Dante's escape from DARKCOM's facility and his mission to confront Vergil and thwart the demonic invasion. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

An Update On ‘Devil May Cry' Season 2 On Netflix After Its Cliffhanger Ending
Devil May Cry Netflix has released another rather good anime adaptation of a famed video game series, this time, Capcom's Devil May Cry. The series just debuted this weekend, but has already landed high on the charts, placing at #3 instantly, a great debut. Devil May Cry's eight episodes are a breezy watch, all under thirty minutes apiece, but if you've seen the show you know that it ends on a pretty steep cliffhanger (spoilers follow), the reveal that Dante's brother Vergil is alive and has been living in hell. This is no great surprise to game players, but obvious it begs for more story from here, and a season 2 must exist to deliver the rest of the storyline. But is it going to happen? Some updates there. No official word yet, but all signs are already pointing to yes based on a number of factors. Performance – As I said, an instant placement at #3 for a show like this is excellent in this genre, and better than some other animated series have managed in recent times that have been renewed. Creator Interest – That would be Adi Shankar, who told IGN all the way back in 2021 (when he said the season 1 scripts were done ahead of this four-years-later 2025 premiere), that his vision was to tell the story over the course of several seasons. This was never meant to be a miniseries, and is not presented as such, hence the obvious cliffhanger introducing a huge new character and putting Dante, literally, on ice. Quality - This one's pretty straightforward. An excellent 94% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid enough 74% audience score. It may not be Arcane or Cyberpunk, but it's really good. Precedent – Netflix has allowed essentially all of its animated video game adaptations to have more than one season, and there's no reason to think that would change here for Devil May Cry based on the above factors. To list them: Looking at this list, the only series with one season are a miniseries which was planned to end, and what is unequivocally the worst show on this list in Resident Evil. By this metric, I'm going to say there's a 99% chance that Devil May Cry is renewed for season 2, albeit we will likely have to wait at least a year in a half to see it. I don't have any real doubts this is going to happen, so feel free to get invested and look forward to Dante and Vergil's return. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Kotaku Weekend Guide: 3 Great Games To Say Goodbye To March With
March is nearly over, and what better way to spend the final days of the month than curled up at home and playing video games? Welcome to Kotaku's weekend guide, where we give you a few suggestions of cool games you can play right now if you're avoiding your backlog or just want to add another game to the pile. You've worked hard all week, so you deserve some time to yourself to play good games. Here are our recommendations, gift-wrapped and delivered straight to you. Play it on: PS4, PC, Xbox One Current goal: Raise Hell With the Devil May Cry anime coming to Netflix next week, I've got Dante on the mind. Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening was a formative game for me as a pre-teen, and there aren't many character action games that have lived up to that high for me. It kinda spoiled me on the genre, really. Series that don't have that same vicious challenge and campy style don't hit the same. It's my go-to 'challenge' game, and not even a Soulsborne matches the satisfaction I remember feeling as I landed blows on Dante's twin brother Vergil in the game's later boss fights. DmC: Devil May Cry, 4, and 5 didn't quite hit the same for me, but I probably should give 5 another chance. More than anything, though, I want to go back to the old PS2 games, and luckily they're readily available thanks to the HD Collection on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. — Kenneth Shepard Play it on: Switch Current goal: Find Nelson and his missing squad Spring always gets me in the mood for a good JRPG and the Xenoblade series, with its focus on vast bucolic landscapes and massive wildlife, always feels like an especially good fit this time of year. I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition last week and instantly got into the MMO-lite groove of exploring its sprawling alien planet. Things have been slow going, however, due in part to all the games coming out this month (including but not limited to The Last Berserker: Khazan, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Cataclysmo). So I'm excited to dive back into it more deeply this weekend. I'm still less than a third of the way through, but man, it holds up surprisingly well. There's very little that I miss coming from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and I think it looks great and runs exceptionally well on Switch despite the aging hardware and lack of a major technical leap from the Wii U where the game was previously trapped. It's Jurassic World meets mech-infused 'go slay god' anime sci-fi vibes and I have a feeling I'll be slowly chipping away at it for the rest of the year, especially if it secretly runs at 60fps on Switch 2 as currently seems to be the case. — Ethan Gach Play it on: just about anything Current goal: Bring some justice to the streets Lately I've been on a kick of revisiting Capcom's incredible beat 'em ups of the late '80s through the mid '90s, or in some cases playing through them for the first time. This past week, a friend and I played the company's excellent pair of licensed Dungeons & Dragons brawlers—Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara—via the compilation Chronicles of Mystara, and I was so impressed by their satisfying combat, their bevy of secrets and alternate pathways, and their incorporation of inventory systems and magic items. Now, this weekend, I want to go back to the game that kicked off Capcom's genre-defining run of beat 'em ups: 1989's Final Fight. When I think of the quintessential beat 'em up, I think of Final Fight. I remember how incredible it was to see this game in an arcade or at a nearby laundromat or convenience store back then; those massive sprites, those crunchy digitized voice samples, that hard-hitting combat. It was one of those games that you knew instantly would change a genre forever, transforming and refining the core principles established in earlier games like Double Dragon and Renegade into something more immediately accessible, appealing, and unforgettable. I haven't played Final Fight in many years, and the friend I've been playing these games with lately never has. So this weekend, I think it's time for Metro City Mayor Mike Haggar to once again hit the pavement, pile-drive some members of the Mad Gear gang and, before all is said and done, confront the true source of evil: a wealthy and powerful man, overseeing his criminal empire from the top of a glass tower, far above the dilapidated streets and subway cars that define Final Fight's incredible depiction of a city on the brink of ruin. — Carolyn Petit For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
