The Cd(II) atom in the title compound, [Cd(C(6)H(12)NS(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], is hexa-coordinated by two dithio-carbamate ligands and the N atoms from a bidentate 2,2'-bipyridyl mol-ecule. The coordination geometry is based on a distorted trigonal-prismatic arrangement of the N(2)S(4) donor set. Supra-molecular chains, aligned along the a-axis direction, are mediated by C-H⋯S inter-actions and these are connected into layers that stack along the c axis via π-π inter-actions [Cg(pyrid-yl)⋯Cg(pyrid-yl) = 3.6587 (13) Å].
