In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we highlighted both its strengths and weaknesses. "Devil May Cry is not without flaws, including horrendous use of CG, bad jokes, and predictable characters. And yet, Adi Shankar and Studio Mir craft a fun video-game adaptation that doubles as a deranged, bonkers, and bold homage to and indictment of '00s Americana." Despite its imperfections, the series stands out with some of the year's best animation and an epic finale that sets the stage for an even wilder second season.
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a surprise to keen followers, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc." For a deeper dive into the creative vision behind the series, be sure to check out our conversation with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses how the anime aims to bring the best of the Devil May Cry series to Netflix.
