This 2025 Netflix anime with a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes received an exciting bit of Season 2 news. Over the years, Netflix has developed quite a stable of excellent anime offerings. In fact, as of this year, more than 50% of Netflix subscribers are watching anime on the platform, with titles such as Naruto, Demon Slayer, and One Piece being among the most popular.
However, one recent hit stood out among the others. The anime adaptation of Capcom's hit Devil May Cry series arrived on the streamer earlier this year, introducing the series' signature over-the-top demon-slaying action to the medium for the first time. This was achieved with great success, as the Devil May Cry anime earned a glowing 96% Tomatometer Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Thankfully, fans will not have to wait long for more of the acclaimed series. It was confirmed that Season 2 of the Adi Shankar-created anime series is in the works, with a release date set for May 12, 2026. This will mark just over 13 months between seasons, setting an impressive pace for the hit animated series.
