The fan-beloved series Arcane will soon be back on Netflix. The series’ second instalment will premiere on the service at the beginning of November, bringing back a gripping tale with a huge fanbase.
When Arcane premiered on Netflix in 2021, it quickly earned the acclaim of critics and fans alike. The adaptation of League of Legends by Riot Games appealed to fans of the original title and those with little knowledge of the game. Arcane captivated viewers with its unique animation style, steampunk atmosphere, complex moral dilemmas and charismatic characters.
Three years have passed since the release of the first season. Although Netflix green-lit the next instalment, for a long time there was no information about the new episodes. Now that the premiere of season 2 is a few weeks away, we already know a little more about it. We’ve gathered all the latest news about Arcane’s second season.
When will Arcane season 2 release?
The second season of Arcane will premiere on Netflix in three parts in November 2024.
Here’s the exact schedule:
- ACT I: Saturday, 9 November (3 episodes)
- ACT II: Saturday, 16 November (3 episodes)
- ACT III: Saturday, 23 November (3 episodes)
The creation of the new season took three years – a fact that shouldn’t be surprising, considering that work on the first lasted a whopping 6 years. The creators want to make something truly spectacular for fans.
As it turned out, season 2 is the finale of the story of Vi and Jinx. Fortunately, this doesn’t mean the end of tales from the League of Legends universe.
Christian Linke, the show’s co-creator, explains in a video published on X that the sisters’ story was planned for two seasons from the beginning. However, the success of animation caused writers to create further series and films set in this universe.
What is the plot of Arcane season 2?
Netflix hasn’t yet released too much information regarding the plot of season 2. However, we know that the storyline will pick up right after the bloody events at the end of season 1.
In the season finale, Jinx, frenzied with anger, attacked the Piltover council, which was voting on Zaun’s independence. The attack likely resulted in the deaths of many people, leading to a war between the two cities.
The relationship between Vi and Jinx will remain a central theme in season 2. However, it seems that their bond is beyond repair. Thanks to the latest trailer released by Netflix, we know that Jinx will become the leader of the rebels aiming to overthrow order in Piltover. However, against the rioters will be Vi, who has already lost hope of saving her sister. Caitlyn, among others, will fight alongside her.
Meanwhile, in response to the attack, the Piltover authorities will impose martial law, worsening the situation in the cities.
