Netflix has released a new sneak peek video for the upcoming second season of the animated series based on CAPCOM’s popular video game franchise, Devil May Cry. The video offers a glimpse of the iconic character Dante and his signature weapons, setting the stage for the action-packed new season.
Set to premiere on May 12, 2026, the second season follows the successful debut of the first season by Studio Mir on April 3. The initial eight episodes introduced fan-favorite characters such as Dante, Vergil, and Lady, delighting viewers around the world. The show quickly made its mark, entering the global top 10 list and amassing an impressive 5.3 million views within its first three days. With a strong presence in 87 countries, the series garnered widespread acclaim and solidified its position as a must-watch for fans of the franchise.
Behind the scenes, the production team had been planning multiple seasons since 2021, ensuring a detailed and immersive storytelling experience for viewers. The English dubbed version features talented voice actors, with Johnny Yong Bosch lending his voice to the character of Dante. The cast also includes Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, the late Kevin Conroy as VP Baines in a posthumous role, and Chris Coppola as Enzo. The Japanese dub cast comprises esteemed voice actors such as Toshiyuki Morikawa as Dante, Fumiko Orikasa as Lady, and Hiroaki Hirata as Vergil.
The series’ acquisition by Shankar in November 2018 marked an exciting new chapter for Devil May Cry fans, with the producer teasing a connection to the popular Castlevania series in what he dubbed the “bootleg multiverse.” This crossover promises to expand the mythology and universe of both franchises, offering fans a deeper and more interconnected viewing experience.
Devil May Cry’s enduring popularity extends beyond the animated series, with the original game series inspiring a 12-episode television anime by Madhouse in 2007. The game franchise, known for its intense action and compelling storytelling, also spawned novels, manga adaptations, and even a stage play crossover with Sengoku Basara. The Devil May Cry 5 game, released in 2019, received critical acclaim and a special edition for next-gen consoles, further solidifying the franchise’s legacy in the gaming world.
With a rich and diverse multimedia presence, Devil May Cry continues to captivate audiences across different mediums, from video games to animated series and stage plays. The upcoming second season promises to deliver even more thrilling action, intricate storytelling, and unforgettable characters, making it a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike. Stay tuned for the highly anticipated premiere of Devil May Cry’s second season on May 12, 2026.
