It’s been almost two years since the incredible animated series Arcane was renewed for a second season on Netflix. Thanks to the announcement made at Netflix’s Geeked Weekend event, we have confirmation that Arcane season 2 will be released on Netflix in November 2024.
Arcane is the prequel animated series to Riot Game’s smash hit MOBA League of Legends. Produced by Riot Games and French animation studio Fortiche, the series has received critical acclaim, impressing millions of fans worldwide and introducing a new audience to the franchise.
The series was created and written by Christian Linke and Alex Yee. Meanwhile, directing duties were left to Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord.
Set in the utopian region of Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League champions and the power that will tear them apart.
Arcane Season 2 Netflix Renewal Status
Netflix Renewal Status: Renewed (Last Updated: 22/11/2021)
Since making its debut on November 6th, Arcane has taken the animation world by storm. Through some of the best animation we’ve seen for a television series and a fantastic story, Arcane hasn’t failed to impress. Thanks to the overwhelming success of the series, Netflix has already decided to renew Arcane for a second season.
Beyond the critical reception from subscribers and critics, it’s not hard to see why Netflix would renew Arcane for a second season once you’ve seen the viewing statistics. Between November 8th and November 14th, over 34 million hours of the series were streamed by subscribers worldwide.

We can expect the majority of the cast members to return to reprise their roles for Arcane season 2:
-
- Katie Leung is CAITLYN
-
- Ella Purnell is JINX
-
- Hailee Steinfeld is VI
-
- Harry Lloyd is VIKTOR

No new cast members have been confirmed at this time.
What to expect from Arcane Season 2?
Thanks to the actions of Jinx, a spanner shaped in the form of a rocket launcher has been thrown into peace talks between Piltover and Zoun. Just as Jayce and the Piltover Council were about to vote for a peace treaty, Jinx fired a rocket with her hextech-powered rocket launcher straight into the council chamber.
It’s unknown which council members were killed in the explosion, if any. At the very least, a chance of peace is over, and Zaun will see Jinx’s actions as an act of war.

Piltover and Zaun may go to war, but we may also see Zaun go to war with itself without Silco’s leadership. A power vacuum has been created in Zaun, which Vi and Jinx could occupy. Vi, with Caitlyn’s help, would likely try to seek peace between Piltover and Zaun. However, if Jinx takes over Silco’s operation, her chaotic and erratic nature could spark a deadly civil war.
When is Arcane season 2 coming to Netflix?
