Netflix has revealed the first trailer for Devil May Cry: Season 2, confirming it’ll focus on Dante and Vergil, as they lock swords for the first time. The arrival of Vergil was briefly teased in the show’s first season, heralding a grand entrance in the next chapter.
Based on context clues, it appears that Dante will be released from his end-of-the-season stasis as Devil May Cry: Season 2 begins, as he’s the only one with enough power to take down Vergil, who’s a growing threat to the world. Some time has passed between seasons, as Dante’s hair has grown longer, and notably, he will also get a costume change for this next adventure, with a coat that better resembles his outfit from the first Devil May Cry game.
In this trailer, we see Dante taking out flocks of demons, Vergil terrorising residents of an apartment block, and teasers of a showdown between brothers that’s been a long time coming, in the canon of the show (which, it should be noted, differs significantly from that of the games).
Devil May Cry: Season 2 – First Look Trailer
In any case, the first season of Devil May Cry was great fun, regardless of its lean away from established canon (and the confusion of having Johnny Yong Bosch step in to voice Dante, after years of voicing his nephew, Nero). Based on this teaser, it appears Season 2 will be equally fun, with plenty of drama and style backing the long-awaited clash of brothers.
This version of Dante remains an endearing one, with the spirit of the character relatively well-translated. We look forward to seeing how Vergil is realised on screen, and how he’ll define this upcoming season.
Splinter Cell: Deathwatch revealed in new trailer
In addition to revealing a new look at Devil May Cry: Season 2, Netflix has also recently revealed fellow video game adaptation Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, the long-gestating adaptation of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell franchise.
This new animated adaptation is from the creator of John Wick, with plenty of dazzling action and gunplay shown off in the first trailer. Liev Schreiber is set to play an older Sam Fisher in this tale, which follows the iconic operative as he takes on a ‘personal’ mission, charting a criminal underworld. This show launches on Netflix on 14 October 2025.
Also on ScreenHub: The Blood of Dawnwalker preview: oozes with vampiric charm
The Blood of Dawnwalker toes a very distinct line. As protagonist Coen, you are the titular ‘dawnwalker’ – a human by day, vampire by night, who must chart both worlds to save his family and bring peace to his city. In an early preview shared with ScreenHub, the nature of this duality was well on show, illuminating just how The Blood of Dawnwalker will encompass light and dark in a sprawling, choice-based tale.
What’s unique about this upcoming RPG is that time is a currency that is tracked and monitored. As you roam a vast open world, you’ll come across all sorts of folks, many with quests to offer. Some of those quests come with a warning – a little hourglass, followed by a number.
You’ll learn that if you take on these quests, time in the world of Dawnwalker will advance incrementally, with days being added to a set timeline. Coen only has a certain number of days to save his family (for reasons that were not detailed in this preview) so you’ll need to carefully monitor which quests you take on, and how far the timeline advances.
