Overview
- Netflix announced on Thursday that its animated Devil May Cry series has been renewed for a third season that will also be the show’s final chapter.
- Showrunner Adi Shankar says the three seasons were designed to mirror Dante’s Divine Comedy—Season 1 as Inferno, Season 2 as Purgatorio and Season 3 as Paradiso—calling the project a movie trilogy disguised as a TV series.
- Studio Mir is reported to return to handle animation and the principal voice cast, including Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, Robbie Daymond as Vergil and Scout Taylor‑Compton as Lady, are expected to reprise their roles.
- Netflix credits the decision in part to strong audience numbers, saying Season 1 recorded 21.7 million views in 2025 and Season 2 drew 6.4 million views in its first two weeks while the show spent a combined four weeks on Netflix’s Global Top 10.
- Key production details remain unresolved: Netflix has not announced an episode count or release window and some trade reports describe Season 3 as a shortened or atypical finale, a plan that Shankar has teased while also drawing attention with outspoken public posts.
