In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that the series is not without its flaws, including issues with CG, humor that misses the mark, and characters that can be somewhat predictable. Despite these imperfections, Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted a fun video game adaptation that serves as both a wild homage to and critique of '00s Americana. The review praised the animation as some of the best you're likely to see, with an epic finale that sets the stage perfectly for an even more thrilling second season.

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.
