In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we noted that the series, while not perfect, offers a compelling experience. "Devil May Cry is not without its flaws, including the use of CG that can be jarring, humor that sometimes misses the mark, and characters that can feel predictable. However, Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted a fun video game adaptation that serves as both a wild homage to and a critique of '00s Americana."
We also praised the series for its stunning animation, stating, "If nothing else, it contains some of the best animation you’re likely to see this year, and its epic finale sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season."
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock to fans, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the series.
