Netflix Renews Devil May Cry for One Last Season

Netflix’s Devil May Cry series has been renewed for a third season. However, it’s been confirmed that the third season will be the final one.

The series’ showrunner, Adi Shankar, also known for his work on Castlevania, provided some insight into his view of the series. He says it was always a take on Dante’s Divine Comedy, and it was always meant to be a movie trilogy disguised as a TV series.

For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time.

Season 3 was an inevitability.

This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat

Season 1 was Inferno🔥.

Season 2 was Purgatorio ⚖️.

Season 3 is 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.

One last thing … “3” is not going to be a normal third “season” of a TV show. With “Season 3,” I am doing something very different. I am crafting a blueprint for how this game is won.

See You all in “Paradise.”

More from Adi Shankar on the Devil May Cry Netflix Series

Shankar also referred to himself as a generational talent and noted that his Devil May Cry anime “wiped the floor” with other AAA IP adaptations. He also provided further Insight on what he believes video game adaptations can be.

“I set out to prove that video game adaptations do not have to be flavorless corporate sludge assembled in a content factory by emotionally vacant brand managers who secretly loathe the source material,” he said.

Devil May Cry is a Capcom video game series that was originally slated to be part of the Resident Evil series before the game’s initial release in 2001. There have been five mainline games and one spin-off known as DMC. All of those games are available to play now on Steam and other platforms.

Devil May Cry 5 was the last release in the series, released in March 2019. It is unclear whether the video game series will continue or when a future game will be released. Insider Gaming will continue to monitor the story and report any updates as more information becomes available.
