In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that the series isn't without its flaws, including the use of less-than-stellar CG, humor that misses the mark, and characters that can feel a bit predictable. However, under the guidance of series creator Adi Shankar and the talented team at Studio Mir, the show manages to deliver a fun and engaging video game adaptation. It serves as both a wild homage to and a critique of early 2000s American culture. The animation stands out as some of the year's best, and the epic finale sets the stage perfectly for an even more thrilling second season.

The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock to dedicated followers of the series, as Adi Shankar has previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for Devil May Cry. For more insights, be sure to check out our conversation with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses the anime's goal to bring the best elements of the series to Netflix.
