Netflix Confirms Arcane Season Two Premiere For Late 2024
The second season of Netflix’s League of Legends-based series Arcane is coming late next year. Deadline reports that season two of the hit animated series will arrive next November, as announced as part of Netflix’s Geeked Week festivities.
The series premiered in November of 2021 and is set in the video game’s realms of Piltover and Zaun. It features the voices of Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell and Katie Leung, who are all set to return as Vi, Jinx and Caitlyn Kiramman. Season one was a big hit for the platform and became the first streaming series to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. The first season was described as follows:
Arcane dives into the delicate balance between the rich city of Piltover and the seedy underbelly of Zaun. Tensions between these city-states boil over with the creation of hextech — a way for any person to control magical energy – in Piltover; and in Zaun, a new drug called shimmer transforms humans into monsters. The rivalry between the cities splits families and friends as Arcane brings life to the relationships that shape some of League of Legends’ famous champions including Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jayce and Viktor. Based on the world behind the game League of Legends, the animated event series features a complex world filled with moral decisions, breathtaking animation and suspenseful storytelling.
