Netflix’s Devil May Cry was every bit the crass, colorful, demon-blood-coated romp fans of the games were hoping it would be, and the streaming giant has just confirmed it’s coming back for a second season. Jackpot.

Netflix has renewed Devil May Cry for a second season

News that Devil May Cry will return for a second season comes just over a week after the first season premiered. The confirmation comes through a post on Netflix’s official X (formerly known as Twitter) page, which included a snazzy new poster for the second season.

Some people, even a few Devil May Cry fans, are probably surprised that they confirmed a second season is coming so quickly. I’ve been watching the numbers, though, so I’m not. According to Netflix’s charts, Devil May Cry has racked up over 5,300,000 views, placing it at #4 on the list of most-viewed shows on the platform right now. With a number like that, a second season was all but written in the stars.

When is Devil May Cry Season 2 coming to Netflix?

As of writing, we don’t have a solid release date for Devil May Cry Season 2. Sadly, if the first season was anything to go by, Devil May Cry‘s second season will probably be out of our reach for a while. The first season debuted this year but was first announced in 2018. Now, I seriously doubt that Season 2 will take as long to make as the first; we’ll probably have to wait at least a year or two before we get a trailer for the next chapter of Dante’s adventures.
