In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we highlighted both the series' imperfections and its strengths. We noted, "Devil May Cry is not without flaws, including horrendous use of CG, bad jokes, and predictable characters. And yet, Adi Shankar and Studio Mir craft a fun video-game adaptation that doubles as a deranged, bonkers, and bold homage to and indictment 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."
The confirmation of Season 2 isn't entirely unexpected. Series creator Adi Shankar had previously expressed his vision for a "multi-season arc," hinting at a broader narrative plan for the series.
