Netflix has officially announced that the second season of Devil May Cry, based on the Capcom franchise, will premiere worldwide on May 12, 2026. Following the commercial success of its first season, which launched in April 2025, the series, executive produced by Adi Shankar (known for Castlevania) and animated by Studio Mir, quickly reached the Top 10 on Netflix in dozens of countries and garnered millions of views during its opening week. The first season received a 96% critics score and a 66% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a 7.4/10 rating on IMDb (based on 28,000 votes). Johnny Yong Bosch returns as Dante in Devil May Cry Season 2, joined by Scout Taylor-Compton and Hoon Lee. Chris Coppola and Kevin Conroy were in Season 1; sadly, Conroy has since passed away. Shankar aims to make Devil May Cry one of Netflix’s best shows, emphasizing that the series will escalate the source material rather than reinvent it. While its impressive viewership led to a quick renewal, reception to the first season was mixed. Many praised the action sequences, while some were hesitant about narrative changes compared to the games.
