The second season of Netflix‘s new animated series Arcane has only just been completed and already there is fantastic news for fans: the series will be continued with a second season! Production has begun, but a release date has not yet been announced.
Netflix series ‘Arcane’ officially gets season 2
Netflix usually answers the question of whether a series will be renewed with a follow-up season several months after its launch. Often this answer is based on a trade-off between production costs and ratings. Now, however, the streaming service has announced with lightning speed that the series will be continued, even before the launch of the first part was fully completed.
The video confirms that the production of S2 has started. A release date has not yet been announced, but it will be a while according to Nicolo Laurent. He is the CEO of Riot Games, the company behind the computer game League of Legends. Fortunately, he indicates that part 2 will not be around 6 years away like the first season, but rather that the release will be at least after 2022.
So yeah, we are working on #arcane season 2.

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 😢 https://t.co/IQoPyLnw1J

Plot, information and trailer of Arcane
Arcane delves into the delicate balance between the wealthy city of Piltover and the seedy underbelly of Zaun. Tensions between these city-states run high with the creation of hextech – a way for everyone to control magical energy – in Piltover; and in Zaun, a new drug called shimmer transforms people into monsters. The rivalry between the cities splits families and friends as Arcane brings to life the relationships that shaped 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 series features a complex world full of moral decisions, breathtaking animation and exciting stories.
