In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that while the series isn't perfect—citing issues like poor use of CG, cringe-worthy humor, and somewhat predictable characters—it still manages to deliver a thrilling video game adaptation. Directed by Adi Shankar and animated by Studio Mir, the show serves as both a wild homage to and critique of '00s Americana. We highlighted the exceptional animation quality and the gripping finale that sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.

The news of Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock, given that series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the show.
