Before The Last of Us and Fallout became acclaimed video game adaptations, the League of Legends series Arcane launched on Netflix and turned into one of the biggest surprise hits of 2021. The critics were enthusiastic, as were fans of the original. Arcane even picked up people who had never heard of the game.
At Moviepilot the sci-fi adventure comes with fantasy elements and pride 8.4 out of 10 points. In terms of genre, only one other series has achieved this on Netflix: Stranger Things. After three long years of waiting, Arcane finally continues with its second season on Saturday. Unfortunately, this will also be the last.
After 3 years of waiting: Arcane Season 2 ends the acclaimed League of Legends series on Netflix
Arcane takes you into a fascinating steampunk world that features beautiful images and a fascinating setting: the Twin City Piltover and Fence. While Piltover resembles a utopia, Zaun is a dystopian place. Here, in this unlikely place, live Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell).

In the first nine episodes of the series, the two sisters have fallen out. Now they find themselves on different fronts in a war that could change the world forever. We can’t wait to see how Arcane Season 2 brings this tragic story to a close with its nine episodes.
This marks the end of a major project whose true dimensions are only now becoming clear. Even in the first season it was said that it took six years to develop the material. Variety unpacks the next exciting detail in a new background report: $250 million devoured the production of the 18 episodes in total.
That’s what makes Arcane the most expensive animated series in the history of moving images. Also interesting: The Variety report also mentions that the original plan was to tell the series over five seasons. Riot Games, which produces the series for Netflix, ultimately decided against it.
Sci-Fi highlight: When does Arcane Season 2 start on Netflix?
Arcane season 2 starts on November 9, 2024 on Netflix. However, unlike many of the streaming service’s other original series, not all episodes arrive at once. Instead, Arcane Season 2 will be released in Blocks of three episodes each published over the next three weeks.
Specifically, the process looks like this:
Three new Arcane episodes appear on Netflix every Saturday. In addition, Netflix has an aftershow called Afterglow announced in which the creative minds behind the series review the events of the second season.
