In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we noted that, despite some drawbacks such as poor CG, lackluster humor, and predictable characters, the series, created by Adi Shankar and Studio Mir, delivers an entertaining video game adaptation.

We highlighted that it boasts some of the finest animation of the year and ends with an epic finale that perfectly sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a surprise to those who follow the series closely. Series creator Adi Shankar has previously expressed his vision for a "multi-season arc."
