In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we noted that while the series isn't perfect—marked by issues like poor CG, cheesy humor, and somewhat predictable characters—it still manages to shine. Directed by Adi Shankar and animated by Studio Mir, the show delivers a fun video-game adaptation that serves as both a wild homage and a critique of '00s Americana. "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," our review concluded.
The announcement of Season 2 isn't entirely unexpected, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the show.
