Netflix has officially announced that the Devil May Cry anime will be returning for a highly anticipated second season. The news was shared on X/Twitter with an exciting message: "Let's dance. Devil May Cry is officially coming back for Season 2," accompanied by a captivating image that has fans buzzing with anticipation.
While details about the upcoming season remain under wraps, fans can revisit the entire first season now available on Netflix to see what sparked the demand for more episodes. The announcement came on April 10, 2025, stirring excitement among the gaming and anime communities.
In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we highlighted both the series' strengths and weaknesses: "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 return of Devil May Cry for Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock to fans, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously expressed his vision for a "multi-season arc." This foresight indicates a well-planned narrative journey for viewers.
