In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we highlighted both the series' strengths and weaknesses. "Devil May Cry is not without its flaws, including the use of subpar CG, humor that misses the mark, and characters that can feel predictable. However, creators Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted a fun video game adaptation that also serves as a wild, bold, and even critical homage to '00s Americana. If nothing else, it features some of the best animation you'll see this year, and its epic finale sets the stage for an even more thrilling Season 2."
The announcement of Season 2 may not come as a shock to avid followers of the series. Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for Devil May Cry, setting expectations high for what's to come.
