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.

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.

We've just got a first look at Vergil in Netflix's upcoming Devil May Cry series alongside another key character from Devil May Cry 3
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's been a while since we first got to see what Netflix's Devil May Cry series would look like, with the first trailer releasing back in September last year. But while the latest look at Devil May Cry may seem awfully similar to the first trailer, what with Dante's quick wit and regular backflips mid-fight, we do get a small look at some other key characters. The new trailer reveals a bit more about the series' story instead of just showcasing Dante's acrobatic fighting style. It seems like the series will follow the events of DMC 3, the first game in the series, chronologically speaking. In the third game, Dante has to try to stop his brother Vergil from opening a portal to the Demon World. While it seems like the White Rabbit is taking on this task in the series, we do get a short glimpse of Vergil right at the end of the trailer, which may suggest he's also in on the plot to open the portal. The only weird thing about this version of Dante meeting Vergil is that I can't help thinking it'll be a father-and-son reunion instead of a brotherly meet-up, as Dante's voice actor, Johnny Yong Bosch plays Nero in the games, Vergil's son. It's a small switch up, but Bosch's voice is so distinctive that I've still not been able to separate his voice from Nero yet. Speaking of cameos, Lady also makes a brief appearance in this latest trailer. Lady is another Devil Hunter who crosses paths with Dante a few times as she hunts down the big bad guy of DMC 3 Arkham, who also happens to be her father. Like in the games, Lady seems to be just as brash and untrusting of demons and half-demons (which extends to Dante), and the two will likely have the same dynamic in the series as they did in the games. But other than these small inklings of a plot, the rest of the trailer is just full of flashy fight scenes all to the tune of Papa Roach's Last Resort. It may seem a tad excessive, but that's pretty in-keeping with Dante and the style of Devil May Cry as a whole, which I personally love. Dante is so impressive that even one of the demons that's he's about to clobber with his motorcycle can't even contain his excitement: "Damn, he's cool". Yes, he is random blue demon. Yes, he is.
