Netflix has shared a new look at Devil May Cry season 2, with showrunner Adi Shankar doubling down on his previous comments that it's going to be "very different" from the first.
"I’m allergic to formula. I dislike when successful shows turn into comfort food," Shankar said in a new press release regarding the second season. "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.” You can check out the new look images below.
The series, based on the popular Capcom video game of the same name, hit Netflix in April 2025 and was renewed for a second season just a week after its premiere. Season 1 debuted at number 4 on the global Netflix chart and currently sits at a 96% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The voice cast includes Scream Queen Scout Taylor-Compton, Hoon Lee, Chris Coppola, Jon Gries (aka Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite), and Tina Majorino (aka Deb from Napoleon Dynamite). The first season also features posthumous cameos from Kevin Conroy and Tony Todd.
The first trailer for Devil May Cry season 2 saw Dante come face-to-face with his not-so-dead brother Vergil, with Shankar saying that he's most excited to tackle Vergil's "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," he said in the press release. "His presence does the talking."
Devil May Cry season 2 is set to hit Netflix on May 12. For more, check out our picks for the best anime on Netflix and all the upcoming video game movies headed your way very soon.
