What happens in the Devil May Cry Season 2 trailer?

The trailer for the new series recaps the history of Dante and Vergil going back to their childhood. The two can be seen playfully fighting as kids before cutting to the future where the two are now fighting as enemies.

In the Season 1 finale, Vergil leads an assault on a U.S.-run prison camp holding Makaians and aligns himself with Mundus, the Dark Lord of Makai. Darkcom imprisons Dante at the end of the season, although it seems likely he will find his way out during the second season.

The animated series first premiered on April 3, 2025, on Netflix and consists of eight episodes in its first season. The Devil May Cry anime was created by Adi Shankar and features the voices of Johnny Yong Bosch, Scout Taylor-Compton, Hoon Lee, Chris Coppola, and the late Kevin Conroy.
