Fans of stylish demon-slaying action have been waiting patiently since Season 1 wrapped up that massive cliffhanger. Netflix just dropped the bomb at The Game Awards 2025: Devil May Cry Season 2 hits screens on May 12, 2026. The announcement came with Evanescence performing “Afterlife” live, tying right into the show’s vibe, and social media exploded with hype.
That first season pulled in over 5.3 million views in its debut week back in April 2025, proving the half-demon hunter’s got legs. Created by Adi Shankar (the guy behind Castlevania’s Netflix run) and animated by Studio Mir, this adult series cranks up the urban fantasy with brutal fights and deep lore nods to Capcom’s games.
Release Date Locked In: Mark May 12, 2026 on Your Calendar
No more guessing games. Season 2 premieres May 12, 2026, exclusively on Netflix. The renewal hit quick after Season 1’s finale on April 10, 2025, showing Netflix knows gold when they see it.
Expect the same tight 8-episode format, each around 25-30 minutes of non-stop chaos. Trailers already tease that brother-against-brother showdown everyone’s craving.
Full Cast Returns: Who’s Voicing Your Favorites?
The voice talent stays stacked, blending game vets with heavy hitters. No major shakeups announced yet for Season 2, but the core crew reprises their roles. Vergil’s actor gets more spotlight this time around.
Here’s the breakdown:
| Character | Voice Actor | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dante | Johnny Yong Bosch | The cocky demon hunter levels up big time. |
| Mary (Lady) | Scout Taylor-Compton | DARKCOM lieutenant with a grudge. |
| White Rabbit | Hoon Lee | Demonic terrorist (Season 1 big bad). |
| Enzo Ferino | Chris Coppola | Info broker hooking up jobs. |
| Vergil | Robbie Daymond | Dante’s twin – the mirror match fans demanded. |
| VP Baines | Kevin Conroy (posthumous) | DARKCOM head; Ian James Corlett fills gaps. |
| Others | Ray Chase (Agni/Rudra), Kari Wahlgren (Eva), more | Full ensemble ready for war. |
Johnny Yong Bosch nails Dante’s swagger – think his Ichigo from Bleach energy but edgier. Robbie Daymond steps up as Vergil, promising that icy rivalry.
Plot Teases: Dante vs. Vergil, Worlds Collide
Season 1 wrapped with Dante smashing the White Rabbit, fixing the hell barrier, but VP Baines rips it open for a U.S. invasion of demon realm. Oh, and Vergil? Alive and kicking after that tease.
Season 2 dives straight in: Dante battles his twin brother Vergil in an all-out war between worlds. Brother vs. brother, powers mirroring each other. Shankar promises Dante “embraces more iconic badassery” after those Season 1 Ls – think upgraded moves, Rebellion swings, and Ebony & Ivory blazing.
Expect deeper Sparda family lore, government demons, and maybe Mundus lurking. Less Lady focus rumored, more sons of Sparda spotlight. That first-look trailer from August 2025? Pure hype fuel with the siblings clashing.
