Netflix has reportedly renewed Devil May Cry for a third season before Season 2 even premieres, with production already ramping up at Studio Mir.
Netflix has reportedly greenlit a third season of its hit anime adaptation Devil May Cry, with production already underway at Studio Mir. The renewal comes ahead of Season 2's debut on the platform today, May 12, 2026.
The early renewal signals strong confidence from Netflix in the video game adaptation, which has become one of the streamer's most acclaimed animated properties. Season 1, which premiered in April 2025, earned a 96% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was met with widespread praise from both anime fans and longtime Devil May Cry players.
Netflix moved quickly after the first season as well, renewing the show for a second outing within a week of its debut. This time, the platform has gone a step further by reportedly greenlighting Season 3 before Season 2 has even reached audiences.
Studio Mir, the South Korean animation powerhouse behind The Legend of Korra, My Adventures With Superman, and X-Men '97, continues to handle production on the series. Showrunner Adi Shankar, who previously developed the animated Castlevania franchise for Netflix, remains at the helm alongside director Park So Young and writer Alex Larsen.
Johnny Yong Bosch reprises his role as the voice of Dante, the demon-hunting protagonist at the center of Capcom's long-running action game franchise. Production on the third season is reportedly already ramping up, suggesting Netflix aims to maintain the roughly one-year gap between seasons that separated Season 1 and Season 2.
Season 2 arrives on Netflix globally today, picking up where the first season left off. While episode counts and specific plot details remain under wraps, the continuation builds on the stylish action and character-driven storytelling that defined the debut run. The series adapts elements from Capcom's Devil May Cry video game franchise, which has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide since its original PlayStation 2 debut in 2001.
Both Season 1 and the newly launched Season 2 are available to stream on Netflix India. Indian subscribers with an active Netflix plan can access the series starting today.
With Season 2 now live and a third season reportedly in production, Devil May Cry has quickly established itself as one of Netflix's flagship animated franchises. The rapid turnaround between renewals suggests the streamer sees long-term potential in Adi Shankar's vision for the property. Fans eager for more demon-slaying action can look forward to Season 3, though no release window has been announced.
