Netflix’s Arcane: League of Legends animated series renewed for Season 2

After the suspenseful Season 1, Riot Games’ League of Legends animated series Arcane is gearing up for a season renewal at Netflix. The news was revealed by the OTT giant and Riot Games on Saturday, during the two-day Undercity Nights events.

Set in the utopian region of League of Legends, the series made its debut earlier in November. Arcane follows the origins of the famous League champions sisters Jinx and Vi, while they reunite. 

Apart from the stellar cast, the series also featured voice performances from Kevin Alejandro, Katie Leung, Jason Spisak, Toks Olagundoye, JB Blanc and Harry Lloyd.

Season 2 will reprise the roles of stars including Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell and Katie Leung. They will be seen performing as Vi, Jinx and Caitlyn, respectively.

Speaking to Deadline, co-creators Christian Linke and Alex Yee said they were happy about the positive responses for Arcane’s first season. They also revealed the team is working hard with creative wizards at Riot and Fortiche to showcase their best at the second instalment too.

Ahead of the premiere, Linke had earlier spoken to Deadline about how the show will be serving as a ‘love letter’ to the League community. He had also stated that he was confident since everyone who was working on those things was feeling that they were working on the most important thing they have ever done.
