has announced the premiere date for the next season of its popular fantasy action series. Fans won’t have to wait long! The first season, which premiered last April, successfully adapted the well-known video game into an animated thriller for mature audiences, introducing viewers to Dante, a demon hunter who fights with two pistols.
The animated series Devil May Cry, created by Adi Shankar and produced by the renowned Studio Mir (known for The Legend of Korra, The Boondocks, and X-Men ’97), received positive reviews when it premiered, currently holding a 96% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. While general audiences were less enthusiastic (with a 66% score on Popcornmeter), they are excited for a potential second season, hoping it expands on the first season’s strengths and stays truer to the original game.
Fans won’t have to wait much longer to see if the second season of Devil May Cry on Netflix lives up to expectations. Netflix Geeked announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the new season will premiere on May 12, 2026. They shared a fresh look at Dante and posted, “Dante returns in Devil May Cry Season 2, premiering May 12 on Netflix!”
Dante’s Demonic Twin Brother Arrives in ‘Devil May Cry’ Season 2
Netflix
Season 1 of Devil May Cry stars Johnny Yong Bosch (known for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War) as Dante, alongside Scout Taylor-Compton (The Runaways), Hoon Lee (Banshee, Warrior), and the late Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) in his final performance, with Chris Coppola (Beowulf). The series, based on the popular action-adventure video game created by Capcom and Hideki Kamiya, kicks off when dangerous powers start tampering with the boundary between the human and demon worlds. At the center of the chaos is Dante, a skilled demon hunter who doesn’t realize both worlds depend on him.
Adi Shankar, the creator of the animated series, didn’t want to just create another show; he aimed to make one of Netflix’s best. Critics suggest he succeeded by both staying true to the original source material and finding a fresh direction for the franchise in animation. Shankar has encouraged fans to look forward to Season 2, hinting at what’s in store for the return of Devil May Cry.

Season two will focus on the arrival of Vergil, Dante’s long-lost twin brother, as the conflict between worlds intensifies. Addressing fan feedback about Dante’s performance in the first season, creator Shankar explained that season two showcases a significantly improved Dante. He’ll be more skilled and embody the powerful, iconic character that fans of the game know and love. However, Shankar emphasized that the story is about growth, not just winning. Dante’s appeal comes from his journey of learning and becoming stronger, not from being invincible.
