Netflix Confirms 'Devil May Cry' Anime Series Ending With Third Season

Netflix has announced that the anime series 'Devil May Cry' will return for a third season—its last. The streaming giant revealed the news this week, following the recent debut of season two on the platform.

The renewal arrives just weeks after the second season became available to viewers. Showrunner Adi Shankar provided insight into the deliberate structure behind the series' conclusion, explaining that the three-season arc was part of the plan from the very beginning.

"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," Shankar stated. "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."

The series draws from Capcom's video game franchise, following Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire caught in the middle of sinister forces attempting to breach the barrier between the human and demon worlds. Unaware of his crucial role, Dante finds himself responsible for the fate of both realms.

Seasons one and two are currently available to stream on Netflix.
