Netflix’s Devil May Cry Renewed for Third and Final Season

Netflix announced that the animated series Devil May Cry will return for a third and final season. In a press release, showrunner Adi Shankar wrote: "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 up ‘The Force Edge Saga.’ Since inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga’ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series." Studio Mir (The Legend of Korra, X-Men ’97) will return to handle animation duties, and the existing cast will reprise their roles: Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, Robbie Daymond as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady.

Based on Capcom’s over-the-top action games, the show follows the orphaned demon-hunter Dante as he tries to stop a portal between the human and demon realms. The series also uses thinly veiled metaphors regarding Bush-era “War on Terror” politics.
