Netflix has officially renewed Devil May Cry for a third season, which will also serve as the conclusion of the animated adaptation. Showrunner Adi Shankar confirmed that the series has always been planned as a trilogy, with each season corresponding to a part of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.
Shankar explained that the episode titles have been hinting at this structure all along. "Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso," he said. "These three seasons make up 'The Force Edge Saga.' Since inception, 'The Force Edge Saga' was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series."
The renewal comes on the heels of strong viewership for the series. Across its first two seasons, Devil May Cry has appeared on Netflix's Global Top 10 for four weeks. Season 1 accumulated 21.7 million views in 2025, while Season 2 has already reached 6.4 million views in just two weeks. The show's momentum proves that audiences are still eager to follow Dante's latest adventures.
Based on Capcom's hit video game franchise, Devil May Cry follows Dante, an orphaned demon hunter-for-hire caught in a conflict that threatens both the human and demon realms. While he spends much of the series battling supernatural threats, he remains unaware of just how important his role is in the fate of both worlds. The adaptation is produced by Shankar and animated by Studio Mir. The voice cast includes Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, Robbie Daymond as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady.
Netflix has not yet announced a release date for the third and final season. In the meantime, the first two seasons of Devil May Cry are currently streaming on Netflix.
For fans of gritty, stylish action, Prime Video's 'Spider-Noir' offers a similarly dark and grounded take on the superhero genre. And if you're looking for more high-octane thrills, Bob Odenkirk's Nobody duology on Netflix delivers a leaner, meaner action experience.
