Admirers of demon-slaying adventures are in for a treat as the world of Devil May Cry prepares to return in full force. The IP, known for its high-octane action, stylish combat, and complex characters, captured hearts with its first season earlier this year, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting more.

As whispers of a new chapter grow louder, excitement builds around what lies ahead for Dante and the rest of the crew. Netflix has confirmed that Devil May Cry season 2 is on the horizon, promising bigger battles, deeper storylines, and shocking revelations.

Netflix has officially announced that Devil May Cry season 2 will premiere on May 12, 2026. Viewers who have been eagerly waiting since the first season can mark their calendars. The announcement came during the 2025 Game Awards and was also shared on Netflix's X handle, including a teaser still featuring Dante, Vergil, and their mother.

Devil May Cry, for those unversed, is based on a Japanese video game franchise of the same name and is animated by South Korean Studio Mir. With the anime’s release date now known, attention naturally shifts to its plot.

What is in store for viewers in the next season of Devil May Cry was teased by none other than the offering’s creator.

Season 2 will see a war between the human and the demon worlds, with Dante facing his estranged twin brother, Vergil. Dante, notably, remains unaware of the fact that the fate of both realms is linked directly to him. 

According to creator Adi Shankar on X, what makes Dante compelling is not that he is unstoppable but that he keeps learning and leveling up.

Shankar also added that the season will be "vvvvveryyyyy different" from its predecessor; hence, viewers can expect intense battles, dramatic showdowns, and deeper exploration of the characters’ personal struggles.

Johnny Yong Bosch and Robbie Daymond will return as the voices of Dante and Vergil, respectively, reprising their roles from season 1. Netflix has not revealed new cast members yet, but people can expect fresh characters and voice actors to shake things up.

Ultimately, while Devil May Cry season 2 is still months away, the anticipation is already building among those eager to dive back into its demon-slaying world. With its mix of dynamic battles, intense drama, and layered characters, the upcoming season promises to raise the bar for quality anime content, making the wait worth every moment for viewers. In the meantime, anime enthusiasts have plenty to explore on Netflix, from action-packed adventures to dark fantasy series that capture a similar thrill.
