Devil May Cry Season 2 drops tomorrow, May 12, 2026, on Netflix (all 8 episodes at once).
The hype is peaking right now with fans gearing up for more stylish demon-slaying, brotherly rivalry, and over-the-top action.
Key News & Plot Tease
- Focus: A full-on “war between worlds” as Dante confronts his estranged twin brother Vergil. Expect intense Dante vs. Vergil clashes, higher stakes, bigger scope, and Dante evolving his skills (including getting his signature pistols). Showrunner Adi Shankar compared it to going from Batman Begins to The Dark Knight — darker, bolder, and more emotionally charged.
- Voice Cast Highlights: Johnny Yong Bosch (Dante), Robbie Daymond (Vergil), Scout Taylor-Compton (Lady), and more.
- Animation: Back by Studio Mir with fluid, game-accurate fight choreography.
- Soundtrack Boost: New original song “See U in Hell” by Papa Roach feat. Hanumankind — a high-energy nu-metal track perfect for the series’ vibe (released May 7 with an animated music video). The show continues its love for 2000s rock.
Trailer & Visual Hype
The official trailer (dropped April 21) has fans buzzing — it shows Dante and Vergil going head-to-head, demonic chaos, and Dante looking even closer to his game counterpart. Reactions call it “peak,” “awesome,” and a strong step up from Season 1.

Fan & Media Buzz
- Reddit threads (r/DevilMayCry) are full of excitement: “Was not very hyped… but this trailer looks awesome.” Many are declaring “Team Dante” or “Team Vergil” and prepping pizza for a binge.
- Social media is flooded with countdowns (“12 hours until it drops — get the pizza ready!”), hype posts, and spoiler-avoidance warnings.
- Early praise for the expanded lore, emotional depth between the twins, and non-stop action. Some fans note it’s a “vvvvery different show” with bigger ambition.
Where to watch: Netflix, starting May 12. If you loved Season 1’s gore, irreverence, and stylish combat, Season 2 looks set to crank it up.
