In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted some of its imperfections, such as the overuse of CG, humor that missed the mark, and characters that felt predictable. However, we also praised the creative vision of Adi Shankar and Studio Mir, describing the series as a "fun video-game adaptation that doubles as a deranged, bonkers, and bold homage to and indictment of '00s Americana." We highlighted the exceptional animation quality and the thrilling finale, which effectively sets the stage for an even more intense second season.
The news of Season 2 might not be surprising to some, given that series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc."For those interested in diving deeper, check out our conversation with Shankar at IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discussed how the anime aims to capture the essence of the Devil May Cry series for Netflix viewers.
