Exciting news for fans of the *Devil May Cry* anime: Netflix has officially announced that the series is set to return for a thrilling second season. The announcement came via X/Twitter, accompanied by an 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 now stream the entire first season on Netflix to understand why it has earned a renewal. The first season, despite its flaws such as the use of CG, some less-than-stellar humor, and predictable character arcs, was praised for its fun take on the video game adaptation genre. In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we highlighted that, "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 renewal for Season 2 aligns with series creator Adi Shankar's vision, as he previously mentioned planning a "multi-season arc." This development should not come as a surprise to fans who have been following Shankar's ambitions for the series.
