Devil May Cry Immediately Renewed For a Second Season
Devil May Cry will be coming back for Season 2.
Within just a week of Devil May Cry’s animated release on Netflix, we got confirmation that the badass Dante will make a return for Season 2 to continue the new story set by Adi Shankar.
Adi Shankar’s Castlevania adaptation also got a Season 2 in less than a month, so it was expected for Devil May Cry to follow suit.
Season 1 of the adaptation received positive reviews from critics, gaining an approval rating of 95%, based on 22 reviews with an average score of 7.7/10.
However, audiences were somewhat mixed due to the changes in the story, especially the characterization of Dante, Lady, Vergil and even the demon race being an allegory for oppressed sectors in the real world.
