Devil May Cry season 2 release date speculation and latest news
Dante is set to face down more demons (personal and otherwise) in the next chapter.
Devil May Cry has grown into Netflix's latest animated hit, with the streamer officially handing it a second season this week.
The series is an adaptation of Capcom's popular video game franchise, which follows demon hunter Dante (voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch) as he faces off against an endless horde of otherworldly demonic threats.
Fan favourite producer Adi Shankar is at the helm of the project and has a track record for well-received gaming adaptations, having previously brought both Konami's Castlevania and Ubisoft's Blood Dragon to the small screen.
Netflix's Devil May Cry certainly captures the punk attitude of its source material, with a banging metal soundtrack and a succession of visceral action sequences that don't skimp on gore.
If you're excited for more episodes of Devil May Cry, here's everything we know so far about season 2 on Netflix.
Devil May Cry season 2 release date speculation
Netflix has officially renewed Devil May Cry for a second season, announcing via social media that the video game adaptation would be returning.
The streamer has not, however, offered any guidance on precisely when the next set of episodes could drop, with our best hope at present being that it follows the consistent schedule of Adi Shankar's previous hit Castlevania.
If so, that would mean approximately 15 months between seasons, which would indicate a potential Devil May Cry season 2 release date in summer/autumn 2026. However, that's just an estimate for now, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Previously, Shankar had expressed his intention to tell another "multi-season" story with Devil May Cry (via IGN), so fans should be pleased that he's now one step closer to realising that vision.
Who could star in the Devil May Cry season 2 cast?
It's likely that the Devil May Cry voice cast will reprise their roles for season 2, led by Johnny Yong Bosch in the lead role of Dante.
The actor is well known to fans of the Capcom franchise, having previously voiced Dante's nephew, Nero, in video games Devil May Cry 4 and 5.
Unfortunately, two of the most recognisable voices in the cast – Batman legend Kevin Conroy and horror icon Tony Todd – have since passed away in real life.
Here's an overview of the core cast members, who could potentially return for Devil May Cry season 2.
- Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante
- Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary
- Hoon Lee as the White Rabbit
- Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino
- Robbie Daymond as Vergil
What could happen in Devil May Cry season 2?
It's likely that the series will fold in more notable characters from the popular video game series, with Dante, Vergil and Lady already gracing the anime.
Specific plot details are open to speculation for now, but no doubt fans will have spirited opinions on which of the Capcom games the show should focus its time on next.
