In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that while the series is not without its flaws—such as the heavy use of CG, humor that sometimes misses the mark, and characters that can feel predictable—it still manages to shine. Under the guidance of series creator Adi Shankar and Studio Mir, the show emerges as a fun and engaging video game adaptation. It pays homage to and critiques '00s Americana in a bold, frenetic style. Despite its imperfections, the animation quality stands out as some of the best seen this year, culminating in an epic finale that sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock to fans, as Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the series. For those eager to dive deeper into the creative vision behind Devil May Cry, be sure to check out our interview with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses how the anime aims to capture the essence of the beloved game series for Netflix audiences.
