In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we highlighted both its strengths and weaknesses. Despite issues such as poor CG, lackluster humor, and somewhat predictable characters, the series stands out for its thrilling animation and bold storytelling. As 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 shock to those following the series closely. Series creator Adi Shankar had previously mentioned his vision for a "multi-season arc," indicating long-term plans for the show. For those eager for more insights, don't miss our conversation with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses his ambitions to bring the best elements of the *Devil May Cry* series to Netflix.
