Exciting news for fans of the Devil May Cry series: Netflix has officially announced that the Devil May Cry anime is set to return for a second season. The announcement was made via a post on X/Twitter, accompanied by an image and the tantalizing tease, "Let's dance. Devil May Cry is officially coming back for Season 2."
While specific details about the upcoming season remain under wraps, fans can revisit the first season, which is now fully available on Netflix. This provides the perfect opportunity to see why the series has earned its renewal. In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, 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 announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the show. For those eager for more insights, you can check out our exclusive interview with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses his vision for bringing the best elements of the Devil May Cry series to the Netflix platform.
