The Netflix animated series has been renewed for a third and final season, which will conclude the three-part arc modeled on the Divine Comedy. Season 2 premiered on May 12, 2026, and has driven a measurable spike in Steam concurrent players for the Devil May Cry game series.
Netflix's Devil May Cry animated series was conceived as a contained three-season story from the start. Showrunner Adi Shankar, who first acquired the rights in November 2018, modeled the arc on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy: Season 1 represented Inferno, Season 2 Purgatorio, and the upcoming third season will be Paradiso. Shankar described the project as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series. The first season, produced by Studio Mir, debuted in April 2025 with eight episodes and accumulated 21.7 million views. Season 2 launched on May 12, 2026, and reached 6.4 million views in its first two weeks.
Season 2's release drove a measurable surge in interest in the game franchise. Steam concurrent players for the Devil May Cry series rose sharply starting May 12, with DMC5 jumping from 1,431 to 7,432 players between May 11 and May 15. The spike coincided with a large-scale Steam sale, but PlayTracker data suggests the anime was the primary driver. The season's final promotional push included an animated music video for the new Papa Roach single "See U in Hell," which debuted on May 7.
The English voice cast across both seasons includes Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, the late Kevin Conroy as VP Baines, and Chris Coppola as Enzo. Season 3 will conclude the "Force Edge Saga" as the series' final season.
