In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we highlighted both its strengths and weaknesses. While the show faced criticism for its use of CG, humor, and character predictability, it was praised for its fun adaptation of the video game and its bold homage to and critique of '00s Americana. We noted, "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. If nothing else, it contains some of the best animation you’re likely to see this year, and its epic finale makes for a very effective tease for an even wilder second season."
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a surprise to those following the series closely. Adi Shankar, the series creator, had previously expressed his vision for a "multi-season arc." For those eager to learn more, check out our conversation with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discussed how the anime aims to bring the best of the Devil May Cry series to Netflix.
