Dante’s not done demon-hunting yet. Netflix has renewed Devil May Cry for a second season, just one week after the first season premiered. There is still a ways to go if the streaming series wants to catch up to the video-game series.
In Studio Mir’s Devil May Cry animated series, “sinister forces” attempt “to open the portal between the human and demon realms,” the logline reads. Only one man can stop this: Dante, “an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.” (OK, two men if you count showrunner Adi Shankar.)
Devil May Cry got off to a good start. In just its first four days of availability, the animated series racked up 5.3 million views (21 million hours viewed divided by its 3 hour, 56-minute runtime), according to Netflix. That was good enough to rank fourth for the week of March 31, 2025, beyond only Adolescence (17.8 million views), which is a legitimate global phenomenon at this point, Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer (13 million views) and Netflix’s first emergency-room procedural, Pulse (6.5 million views).
Last week, Devil May Cry reached Netflix’s top 10 in 87 countries, the streamer said. The series current has a 95 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Devil May Cry the series was in the works for a long time. Development crept through COVID and post-COVID. Devil May Cry has released five real games, a reboot, an HD collection and a mobile game. Johnny Yong Bosch, who voiced the character Nero in the games, is the voice of Dante in the series. Reuben Langdon voiced Dante in the games; he also provided some motion capture for Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4, and Devil May Cry 5.
