Netflix Sets May Premiere Date for ‘Devil May Cry’ Season 2
Dante (voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch) is squaring off against his twin brother Vergil (voiced by Robbie Daymond) in the second season of Devil May Cry.
The brotherly brawl is set to commence next year, as Netflix has officially set a May 12, 2026, premiere date.
In season 2, a war between worlds ignites as Dante must battle the only force that mirrors his own: his estranged twin brother Vergil.
Created by Castlevania showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game first hit Netflix back in April (check out Daniel’s review) and was quickly renewed for a second season.
In the series, sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck. Dante, a half-demon professional demon hunter, finds himself in the middle of an ongoing conflict between the forces of Hell and a mysterious specialized military unit known as DARKCOM.
While the villainous White Rabbit (voiced by Hoon Lee) leads infernal terrorist attacks across Earth, Dante and DARKCOM are forced to work together to uncover the truth behind the demonic attacks and to ultimately stop them.
Alongside Bosch and Daymond is Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady.
The season two premiere announcement also comes with a new image that highlights the family turmoil taking center stage.

Himesh Patel (Tenet, Don’t Look Up) will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) in Ryan Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files“, which has wrapped filming on the pilot.
Patel confirmed the news in a chat with The Direct, while reiterating that he and Deadwyler play new characters.
“I don’t want to say anything that’s going to get me disappeared. Needless to say, myself and Danielle Deadwyler are playing completely new characters, and we just wrapped on the pilot. If we get to do more… we’ll see where we go from there,” Patel said.
That last sentence is noteworthy, as Patel is reminding that Hulu has only ordered the pilot so far. A full series order has yet to be greenlit.
It’s a good reminder, considering that Hulu also ordered a pilot for the “Buffy: New Sunnydale” reboot that was filmed and delivered earlier this year, only for the streamer to send shockwaves when it opted not to move forward with the series.
As for “The X-Files” pilot, Sinners filmmaker Ryan Coogler writes and directs the pilot. Jennifer Yale (“The Copenhagen Test”) serves as showrunner.
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Patel and Deadwyler previously co-starred together on “Station Eleven.”
Other actors who have signed on for guest roles include Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two additional seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. 218 episodes were produced in total, along with two feature films: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
