CBS All Access announced today that fans can reenter “The Twilight Zone” this summer when Season 2 premieres on Thursday, June 25th.

All 10 episodes of the original anthology series will drop at once.

Devil May Cry Third Season Renewal

Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite seriesDevil May Cryhas been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.

Created byCastlevaniashowrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms. 

Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.

Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating  21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.

For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make upThe Force Edge Saga.Since its inception,The Force Edge Sagawas designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,Shankar said of the announcement.

The voice cast forDevil May CrySeason 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (Critical Role) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.

Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD,Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around.

Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.

Catch up on the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
