Netflix has announced that their animated adaptation of Devil May Cry will be getting a second season.

“In this animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game and from the vision of Adi Shankar, sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.”

Devil May Cry is an action hack-and-slash game franchise created by Hideki Kamiya and primarily developed and published by Capcom. The series follows the demon hunter Dante and his allies as they work to stop supernatural forces from attacking Earth. The series is much loved, receiving praise for its over-the-top fast-paced action, combo gameplay, and style and visuals.
