arcane season 1 batch 2, when will arcane season 2 be released
With the first season of Arcane keeping fans on tenterhooks after its cliffhanger ending, viewers will be thrilled to hear that the League of Legends-based animated series has been renewed for a second season on Netflix and is currently in production.
Set in Riot Games’ League of Legends universe, Arcane follows the fates of sisters Jinx and Vi, voiced by Ella Purnell and Hailee Steinfeld respectively, as they find themselves on two opposing sides of a war.
While an official release date for the fantasy series is yet to be confirmed, we do know that stars Steinfeld and Purnell are set to reprise their roles in the TV show, alongside Katie Leung, who plays Caitlyn Kiramman.
“We’re beyond happy about the positive response to Arcane‘s first season and are working hard with the creative wizards at Riot and Fortiche to deliver our second instalment,” series co-creators Christian Linke and Alex Yee said of Arcane’s renewal.
Ahead of the first season’s premiere on Netflix at the beginning of November 2021, Linke spoke about how the show serves as a “love letter” to the League community, from Rioters to players.
“I think we’ve always had this dream of creating a bigger experience where it’s not just a show and you drop it, but it’s really something where we can create a conversation piece for people that have loved this IP and the characters for such a long time,” he told Deadline.
“I really feel confident in the statement that everyone that works on these things feels like they’re working on the most important thing they’ve ever done in their craft,” he added.
It’s no wonder then, that fans can barely wait for season two.
But with the release date still a fairly long way away, read on for what we can expect from the next batch of episodes after season one’s cliffhanger ending, as well as everything we know about Arcane’s season two release date rumours.
Arcane season 2 release date rumours
Netflix announced in November 2021 that a second season of Arcane was officially green-lit – in fact, the exact wording used by the @NetflixGeeked Twitter account was “in production”, which bodes well in suggesting that work on the new episodes is already under way.
The show’s official Twitter account also confirmed in a tweet that the second season of the show is currently in production.
The streamer is yet to officially confirm a release date for season two but Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent has given fans some good news and some bad news on that front.
“We are working on #Arcane season 2,” he tweeted in November 2021. “The good news: you won’t have to wait for 6 years (the time it took us to making season 1). The bad news: it’s not coming in 2022.”
Fingers crossed production doesn’t suffer any more delays after production on the first set of episodes was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant pushing Arcane’s planned 2020 release to November 2021.
Explaining the delay to the first season, Greg Street (also known as Ghostcrawler), Head of Creative Development for Riot Games, said: “Creative development and production is hard, especially in a world where you can’t see your coworkers IRL. We have video meetings now, which help, but they are no substitute for being in a room where we can really get the creative energy flowing. Combine these issues, along with the technical difficulties of production at the international scale, and the problem becomes a lot bigger.”
