Devil May Cry Season 2 Theories: Brotherly Battles, Demon Wars & Twisted Fates

Devil May Cry Netflix: What to Expect in Season 2

The first season of Netflix’s Devil May Cry ended not with a whimper, but with a massive, demon-slaying bang—and a cliffhanger that’s got fans losing their minds. While the stylish action and gothic aesthetic were spot-on, the show saved its most jaw-dropping twist for the final seconds: Virgil, Dante’s long-lost twin, isn’t dead. And he might just be the biggest threat the demon hunter has ever faced.

Now that the twin brother bombshell has dropped, let’s grab our demon-slaying swords and dive into what we think is coming in Devil May Cry Season 2. Buckle up—it’s about to get bloody, personal, and epic.

Dante vs. Virgil: The Brotherly War We've Been Waiting For

Dante and Virgil’s sibling rivalry is at the heart of the Devil May Cry mythos—and Season 2 is primed to deliver the emotional and explosive clash fans have been waiting for. With Virgil secretly manipulating events behind the scenes in Season 1, it’s clear he’s not just back—he’s working alongside (or possibly above) Mundus, the demon emperor.

But Virgil’s motivations might not be pure evil. Maybe he believes he's protecting the demon race from human aggression. Maybe he thinks he’s continuing Sparda’s legacy in his own twisted way. Either way, it sets up a brutal moral and physical confrontation between the twins.

Dante may be torn, but let’s be real—he won’t hold back forever. Expect a bloody, high-stakes brother-vs-brother finale in Season 2.

Operation Inferno: Hell Is Under Attack

Vice President Baines went full megalomaniac in Season 1, opening a portal to the Netherworld and launching a straight-up military assault on demons. Classic human hubris, right? But Baines’ attack might just be the spark that sets Virgil’s rebellion in motion.

Season 2 could dive deeper into this war, with the U.S. military acting as unexpected antagonists. Baines sees demons as "the other"—a threat to be erased. That kind of mindset rarely ends well.

And with Virgil now rallying demons, the line between villain and victim will blur. It’s not about good vs. evil anymore. It’s about power, fear, and survival.

The Mystery Weapon: What Is Baines Mining in Hell?

Baines isn’t just launching missiles—he’s mining the Netherworld. What for? It's probably not oil.

Season 2 might introduce a mysterious resource or weaponized ore that could change the tides of war. Maybe it powers new anti-demon tech. Maybe it's the key to controlling portals between worlds. Whatever it is, expect it to play a major role in the human-demon conflict.

Bonus theory? This tech might even be the reason Dante is eventually released from cryo-prison—to help stop it before it wipes out everything.

Baines Will Die (And We’re So Ready for It)

Let’s face it—Baines is giving major final-boss-who-deserves-it energy. His religious fanaticism, his reckless warmongering, and his twisted savior complex all spell one thing: downfall.

He’s a mirror image of Mundus. Both want to conquer, both justify atrocities in the name of peace, and both are blind to the cost. His death won’t just be satisfying—it’ll be poetic justice.

Whether it’s Dante, Mary, or even Virgil who delivers the final blow, one thing’s certain: his end is coming.

Mary Will Switch Sides (And We Love to See It)

Mary (aka Lady) has one of the show’s most compelling arcs. Haunted by her past, fueled by vengeance, and loyal to Darkcom—for now. But after seeing the innocent Macans being slaughtered, it’s only a matter of time before her moral compass starts spinning.

Season 2 could be her redemption arc. She’ll join Dante, rebel against Darkcom, and fight for balance instead of blind revenge. Plus, her dynamic with Dante? Electric.

We’re calling it now: Mary will help bridge the gap between humans and demons.

Will We See Sparda Return?

The biggest wildcard for Season 2? Sparda. The legendary demon knight and father of both Dante and Virgil is shrouded in mystery. Is he dead? Alive? Locked in some hellish prison?

If Sparda returns—either physically or as a force guiding events from behind the scenes—it could reshape everything. It might even be the only thing that can stop the inevitable war between his sons.

Season 2 could hint at his return, but we’re betting his full reappearance will be saved for the climactic third season.

Season 2 Is Just the Beginning of a Bigger War

Season 2 of Devil May Cry is shaping up to be the turning point. It won’t just be about action—it’ll be about characters choosing sides, confronting the past, and redefining what it means to be human… or demon.

We’re expecting massive fights, deep moral questions, surprise alliances, and a tragic brotherly showdown that sets the stage for a third and final season.

Whether you’re Team Dante, Team Virgil, or just here for the demon-slaying chaos, one thing’s clear: Season 2 is going to raise hell.
