It lastly occurred. Practically three years Arcane‘s first season drew to an in depth, the hit Netflix present’s second and ultimate chapter has a launch date – and, fittingly, it is set to reach round its forebear’s three-year anniversary.
Introduced throughout Netflix Geeked Week 2024‘s stay occasion, Arcane season 2 will formally debut on Netflix on Saturday, November 9. That is… an uncommon day for certainly one of Netflix’s most profitable animated sequence to return, however hey, I am not complaining. I will be seated, bowl of cereal in hand, to get my Saturday morning cartoon (albeit one of many adult-themed selection) repair as quickly because it drops.
However wait, there’s extra. Netflix, along side its Arcane companions Riot Video games and Fortiche Productions, had much more surprises in retailer at Geeked Week Reside. First, the trio revealed that, identical to Arcane season 1, one of many finest Netflix reveals‘ sophomore seasons will probably be launched in three components: Act 1 will debut in November, Act 2 arrives on November 16, and Act 3 will wrap up the present on November 23. There is no phrase on what number of episodes there will be in every quantity, however I believe it’s going to be three apiece, which is what number of season 1’s trio of acts had.
We’re not executed but, of us. Showrunners Christian Linke and Alex Yee took to the Geeked Week Reside stage to unveil a brand-new clip from season 2, too, which reveals Vi – or, as this model of the character is thought in Arcane fan circles, Pit Fighter Vi – partaking in some bruising, nicely, pit-fighting shenanigans. It definitely seems to be like she’s in her emo part, too, judging by her monochromatic apparel and make-up. My guess? Somebody terrible occurs in Season 2 Act 1, which forces Vi to go underground and disguise herself in Act 2. However, as Arcane season 2’s official trailer teased earlier in September, she’ll have to beat her self-imposed exile and/or droop to guard Piltover and Zaun as Season 2 progresses.
Lastly on the disclosing entrance, Netflix and Riot additionally introduced Afterglow. An after-show that’ll be hosted by Vi and Jinx voice actors Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Purnell, it’s going to go behind the scenes on every act of Netflix’s adaptation of Riot’s League of Legends videogame franchise. Extra particulars on when and the place Afterglow will probably be obtainable to observe are coming quickly, however do not be stunned for those who can test them out on the world’s finest streaming service after you have seen every quantity.
Phew, that was so much to catch you up on! If it is not coming throughout in my writing, although, I’m tremendous pumped for Arcane‘s return. It is felt like a lifetime has handed since we final visited Runeterra and I merely cannot wait to return to observe the epic conclusion to probably the greatest animated reveals in dwelling reminiscence. Can it’s November 9 already, please? No? Oh, alright then. Effectively, whereas we proceed to depend down the times to Arcane season 2, learn extra of my protection concerning the sequence’ subsequent chapter beneath.
