Devil May Cry series creator Adi Shankar teases Vergil’s debut and season 2 storyline alongside new photos.
The Son of Sparda Returns: Vergil’s Strategic Debut in Season 2
Based on the hit video game IP and animated by Studio Mir, Devil May Cry Season 2 will release on Netflix May 12th, 2026. The voice cast for the animated TV show includes Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, Robbie Daymond as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady.
Series Synopsis:
“A war between worlds ignites as Dante must battle the only force that mirrors his own: his estranged twin brother Vergil. In Devil May Cry Season 2, Dante must confront his own devils and the feeling of family he lost as a child. With the reemergence of Vergil, will Dante lay to rest old demons or fall victim to them?”
“His Presence Does the Talking”: Defining Vergil’s Lethal Stillness
Showrunner Adi Shankar has shared his thoughts on the upcoming new season with Netflix.
Series Creator Adi Shankar on Season 2:
“I’m allergic to formula. I dislike when successful shows turn into comfort food. Devil May Cry won’t be TV that loops. My mission for Season 2 was to capture the feeling of a 2000s film franchise entry where the audience can’t predict the next turn.”
Series Creator Adi Shankar on what he is most excited to tackle in bringing the beloved character Vergil to life:
“His restraint. The interesting part is that Vergil’s a guy who can stand completely still and still feel like the most dangerous one in the room. His presence does the talking.”
Netflix has also released an exclusive sneak peek showing when Dante Gets Ebony & Ivory.
