Netflix Renews ‘Devil May Cry’ for Season 2
Demons, beware! Devil May Cry is coming back for a second season on Netflix. The animated series, produced by Studio Mir, follows demon-hunter Dante as he tries to prevent sinister forces from opening a portal between the human and demon realms. It’s up to Dante, an orphaned demon hunter for hire, to save both worlds, all while he remains unaware of the fate that rests upon his shoulders.
The show got off to a strong start, garnering 5.3 million views in its first four days and ranking fourth for the week of March 31. Last week, Devil May Cry made it to Netflix’s top 10 in 87 countries. Critics also seem to love the series, as it currently holds a 95 percent freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The development of Devil May Cry went through various stages during the COVID-19 pandemic and post-COVID. The show draws inspiration from the popular video game series, with voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch, known for voicing Nero in the games, taking on the role of Dante in the series. Reuben Langdon, who voiced Dante in the games, also contributed to the production.
If you’re a fan of demon-hunting adventures, Devil May Cry on Netflix is definitely worth checking out!
