In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we pointed out that the series is not without its flaws, including the use of poor CG, humor that misses the mark, and characters that can feel a bit predictable. However, creators Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have managed to deliver a fun video game adaptation that also serves as a wild and bold homage to, as well as a critique of, '00s Americana. The animation stands out as some of the best you'll see this year, and the epic finale sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.
The announcement of Season 2 isn't entirely unexpected, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the show. For those eager to dive deeper, be sure to check out our interview with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discussed his vision for bringing the best elements of the Devil May Cry series to life on Netflix.
