Netflix has officially announced that the Devil May Cry anime will return for a second season, exciting fans with the news shared on X/Twitter. The announcement came with a captivating image and the enticing message, "Let's dance. Devil May Cry is officially coming back for Season 2." While details about the upcoming season remain under wraps, viewers can revisit the first season, now fully available on Netflix, to understand why it has earned the green light for more episodes.
In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted some imperfections, such as the subpar use of CG, less-than-stellar humor, and somewhat predictable characters. However, creators Adi Shankar and Studio Mir managed to deliver a thrilling video game adaptation. The series not only pays homage to the Devil May Cry games but also offers a wild and bold critique of early 2000s American culture. Despite its flaws, the first season boasts some of the year's finest animation and culminates in an epic finale that sets the stage for an even more exhilarating second season.
The return of Devil May Cry for Season 2 might not be a shock to many, considering Adi Shankar's earlier hints about a multi-season arc.
