Netflix has thrilling news for fans of the Devil May Cry anime: a second season is officially in the works. The announcement came via a post on X/Twitter, featuring a captivating 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, fans can revisit the first season, now fully available on Netflix, to understand why it has earned this exciting continuation. The announcement was shared on April 10, 2025, sparking anticipation among subscribers.

In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we highlighted both its 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 shouldn't come as a shock to avid followers, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the show. For those eager to dive deeper, check out our conversation with Shankar at IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses how the anime aims to bring the best of the Devil May Cry series to Netflix viewers.
