Netflix Confirms Devil May Cry Will End With Season 3
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Netflix announces that its animated Devil May Cry series will conclude with a third and final season, completing showrunner Adi Shankar's planned cinematic trilogy.
Netflix has officially renewed its animated adaptation of Devil May Cry for a third and final season, bringing Dante's streaming saga to a definitive close. According to a report by Polygon, showrunner Adi Shankar revealed that the entire three-season run was deliberately structured as a cinematic trilogy. Each season corresponds to a section of Dante's Divine Comedy with guns, moving from Inferno and Purgatorio to the upcoming Paradiso to complete what he calls The Force Edge Saga. Studio Mir is returning to handle the animation, with the main voice cast also reprising their roles.
The series has pulled in massive numbers for the platform since its debut, drawing 21.7 million views for its first season and pulling in millions more for its recent second-season drop. Capcom has previously credited the adaptation with helping push Devil May Cry 5 past the 10 million sales milestone. While the show has sparked plenty of debate among longtime fans due to its creative liberties and political undertones, it has undeniably proven to be a major viewership driver for Netflix and a valuable cross-media win for Capcom.
Beyond the screen, the showrunner has kept the community talking through a series of controversial and often confusing public statements on social media. Regardless of the surrounding discourse, fans can expect one final ride with Dante, Vergil, and Lady when the trilogy concludes. You can read the original reporting over at Polygon.
