Netflix has shared new images for the upcoming Devil May Cry Season 2, along with a quote from the show’s showrunner Adi Shankar. The first season of the animated series was released on Netflix on April 3, while the sequel announcement came just a week later. The project was first announced in September 2023 as “an anime series from Capcom, Studio Mir & Adi Shankar.”
Series creator Adi Shankar commented:
“I’m allergic to formula. I dislike when successful shows turn into comfort food. Devil May Cry won’t be TV that loops. My mission for Season 2 was to capture the feeling of a 2000s film franchise entry where the audience can’t predict the next turn.”
Shankar also commented on what excites him most about adapting Vergil for the series:
“His restraint. The interesting part is that Vergil’s a guy who can stand completely still and still feel like the most dangerous one in the room. His presence does the talking.”
Netflix previously shared the first trailer for the sequel:
Devil May Cry is a popular action-adventure and hack-and-slash game franchise created by Hideki Kamiya and developed primarily by Capcom. The series follows Dante, a demon hunter with supernatural abilities, as he fights demons that threaten humanity. The voice cast includes:
- Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante
- Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary
- Hoon Lee as White Rabbit
- Kevin Conroy as VP Baines
- Chris Coppola as Enzo
The game series originally debuted in 2001 and has since expanded to include six mainline entries:
- Devil May Cry (2001)
- Devil May Cry 2 (2003)
- Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening (2005)
- Devil May Cry 4 (2008)
- DmC: Devil May Cry (2013) – a reboot developed by Ninja Theory
- Devil May Cry 5 (2019)
In addition to the main entries, the franchise has had multiple remasters, special editions, and collections, including Devil May Cry HD Collection and enhanced re-releases of Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, and Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition.
The series already has one anime adaptation by studio MADHOUSE, which premiered in June 2007. It has 12 episodes and focuses on Dante’s daily life as a demon hunter.
