In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that while the series has its flaws, including subpar CG, weak humor, and predictable characters, it still manages to shine. Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted a fun video game adaptation that serves as both a homage to and a critique of '00s Americana. The review highlighted that, "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 should not come as a shock to fans, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously mentioned plans for a "multi-season arc."
