In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that despite some flaws such as poor CG, lackluster humor, and predictable characters, the series shines as a fun and bold video game adaptation. Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted an homage to '00s Americana that's both deranged and captivating. We highlighted, "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 news of a second season isn't entirely unexpected, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously mentioned plans 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 Devil May Cry series for Netflix viewers.
