Arcane Season 1 was one of the biggest hits of Netflix when it released in 2021. Fans can now rejoice as the second season is coming soon on Netflix.

Based on the lore belonging to the popular PC game titled League of Legends, Arcane featured high voltage action, a solid soundtrack and the bond between two sisters. The show appealed to both gamers and non-gamers and also had bagged eight Annie Awards and three Emmy Awards.

With such a glorious first season, the second season of Arcane will be its last. However, co-creator Christian Linke mentioned that a lot more if left to come from the greater lore. During a League Dev Update, he mentioned,

"Arcane is just the beginning of our larger storytelling journey and partnership with the wonderful animation studio that is Fortiche."

He further added,

"From the very beginning, since we started working on this project, we had a very specific ending in mind, which means the story of Arcane wraps up with this second season. But Arcane is just the first of many stories that we want to tell in Runeterra."
