In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted, "Devil May Cry is not without its flaws, including horrendous use of CG, bad jokes, and predictable characters. Yet, Adi Shankar and Studio Mir manage to create a fun video-game adaptation that also serves as a deranged, bonkers, and bold homage to and critique of '00s Americana. If nothing else, it boasts some of the best animation seen this year, culminating in an epic finale that teases an even wilder second season."
The announcement of Season 2 aligns with earlier statements from series creator Adi Shankar, who mentioned his vision for a "multi-season arc."For more insights, don't miss our conversation with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses how the anime aims to capture the essence of the beloved series for Netflix viewers.
