Netflix animated series Devil May Cry, based on the video game franchise of the same name, is back with season 2. The stakes are high, with the war between Earth and Hell underway. The good news? Critic reviews continue to be solid.
Audiences seem excited for the new episodes, too. With 4.1 million views last week, Devil May Cry became a top 10 show in 64 countries. Does this mean a third season could be just around the corner? Here’s what we know so far.
Devil May Cry Season 3 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t officially renewed the animated show for additional seasons. That said, the platform often waits a bit to assess viewership before giving the green light.
Moreover, rumour has it that Devil May Cry season 3 is a go, and production is ongoing. This would align with the creator’s vision, who previously stated that he has a multi-season arc in mind. An announcement from Netflix might come soon.
If all goes well, new episodes of the series are likely to arrive in spring or summer 2027.

What Is Devil May Cry About?
Devil May Cry revolves around Dante, a demon hunter-for-hire who gets involves in a growing war between humanity and the demon world. As portals between realms begin to open, Dante finds himself hunted by powerful forces from all sides.
He battles supernatural threats while uncovering secrets about his family, especially the fate of his twin brother, Vergil. Season 1 centres on Dante trying to stop the White Rabbit from triggering a demonic invasion of Earth. At the same time, it teases the return of Vergil and the rise of the demon king Mundus.
Season 2, meanwhile, brings Dante and Vergil back together, at least temporarily. While the first continues to protect humanity, the latter becomes increasingly obsessed with power. The finale sees Dante injured and back on Earth, with the story far from over.
A potential Devil May Cry season 3 would pick up from there, expanding the mythology even further. Fingers crossed Netflix won’t pull the plug before fans get to learn what happens next.
