Netflix Renews Devil May Cry: Dante’s Demon-Slaying Journey Continues
Devil May Cry Renewed for Season 2: More Demons, More Dante, and More Action on Netflix
Netflix’s Devil May Cry animated series has officially been renewed for Season 2, and fans of demon hunter Dante have every reason to get hyped. The stylish, action-packed anime adaptation of Capcom’s legendary video game franchise isn’t done yet—and neither is Dante’s mission to fight evil in the underworld.
If you loved the intense fight scenes, supernatural lore, and Dante’s cool attitude in Season 1, there’s even more to look forward to in the next chapter.
Dante’s Demon-Slaying Days Are Far From Over
A Season 2 Has Been Confirmed
Yes, it’s official—Netflix has greenlit Season 2 of Devil May Cry. The announcement came directly from Adi Shankar, the showrunner and executive producer who’s been developing the series since 2018 alongside writer Alex Larsen.
Shankar is best known for his work on Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, and he’s teamed up with the talented animation team at Studio Mir (The Legend of Korra, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf) to bring Dante’s world to life.
“Our goal wasn’t just to pump out another animated show,” says Shankar. “My goal is to make one of the best shows on the Netflix platform—period.”
And with Season 1 making a splash among fans and critics alike, that goal is well within reach.
What Is Devil May Cry About?
The Devil May Cry series follows Dante, an orphaned demon hunter who makes a living taking down monsters that cross into the human world. But his mission is personal—he’s hunting down the demons responsible for his mother’s death.
A Battle Between Two Worlds
The story is set in a world where a portal exists between the human and demon realms. Dante finds himself at the center of this conflict, often unaware of how deeply his fate is tied to both sides. With guns blazing and his sword at the ready, Dante faces enemies both supernatural and human, while uncovering secrets about his past—and his family.
It’s a dark fantasy adventure filled with epic fights, flashy animation, and emotionally powerful moments.
New Music and Exclusive Visuals: Evanescence Joins the Party
As if the news of Season 2 wasn’t enough, fans got another treat: Evanescence has released a lyric video for their new single “Afterlife”—and it features exclusive clips from Devil May Cry.
The haunting vocals and dramatic visuals fit perfectly with the gothic style of the show. It’s a match made in underworld heaven and adds even more excitement for what’s coming next.
