Devil May Cry's Adi Shankar Teases Major Changes for Season 2

Jun 23, 2025 3:23 PM

Adi Shankar, the showrunner for Netflix’s animated series Devil May Cry, has shared that Season 2 will significantly differ from its predecessor. He assures fans that the beloved character Dante will evolve and showcase more of his iconic badassery, an element that long-time fans appreciate. Shankar emphasizes character growth, stating that compelling characters like Dante must learn and adapt rather than simply overpower their adversaries. While some fans remain critical of the first season's portrayal, Shankar explains that his adaptation is non-canonical, allowing for creative storytelling unbound by the established timeline of the games.

What makes Season 2 of Devil May Cry different from Season 1?

Season 2 promises a transformative experience for Dante with improved skills and a stronger embrace of his legendary persona, contrasting the earlier portrayal while maintaining a focus on character growth and narrative depth.

Devil May Cry originated as a popular action-adventure video game series developed by Capcom, renowned for its fast-paced combat and engaging storylines. The first season of the animated series was met with mixed reviews, earning an 8/10 rating for its entertainment value while showing promise for further character development in the upcoming season. As the franchise has grown, its rich lore and complex characters have garnered a passionate fanbase that eagerly anticipates the direction of this animated adaptation.
