One of Netflix’s most popular animated TV shows will end its run after its third season. The show’s second season debuted on the streamer earlier this year.
What Netflix TV show is ending after its third season?
Devil May Cry, the animated series based on the video game franchise, has been renewed for a third season. However, it has also been announced that this season will be its last.
Adi Shankar, DMC’s showrunner, called himself a “generational talent” in a lengthy note about the news on social media. The creator provided the following statement regarding the news: “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.”
Both seasons of DMC appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks. The first season got over 21.7 million views in 2025, with season 2 accumulating over 6.4 million views at the time of writing. The second season debuted to strong critical reviews.
The show’s synopsis reads, “In this animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game and from the vision of Adi Shankar, 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.”
Devil May Cry stars Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, Robbie Daymond as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady. The show is produced by Studio Mir. Capcom’s video game franchise currently has six mainline entries. The most recent title, Devil May Cry 5, was released in 2019.
Devil May Cry is streaming now on Netflix.
