Arcane Season 2 has finally concluded with an action-packed and gut-wrenching Act 3. Fans never thought the new season would surpass the first, as it was already a masterpiece, but it did. Be it the storytelling or the animation quality, Arcane Season 2 was a stunner. The series gave us some new characters, like Isha, and some recurring characters, such as Caitlyn and Ambessa, got a chance to shine. Well, now that the second season has ended, many fans are wondering if there will be Arcane Season 3. Well, here’s the answer.
Is Arcane Season 3 Happening?
No, Arcane Season 3 isn’t happening as the creators were clear from the beginning that Vi and Jinx would bid goodbye to us in the second season. As per a report by Variety, Arcane was supposed to run for five seasons. However, in an interview with Collider, Arcane’s co-creator Christian Linke clarified that the show was destined to end with two seasons. When asked if Arcane was planned to be two seasons long, Linke revealed:
“I would say we always had the story in mind. You have to get into it, to write it, to really see, “Okay, how long is it going to be exactly? How many episodes exactly?” But we always had the arcs for the characters in mind, and that’s really what tied it down. So, it felt pretty organic that it would be two seasons.”
Arcane Season 1 was released back in 2021 and became one of the most-watched shows on Netflix. Whether one is a League of Legends player or not, the animated show was praised by all for its plot, top-notch animation, and characters. So, it was evident fans were desperate for the second season, which arrived on Netflix on November 9, 2024, with its first act.
Well, it literally overwhelmed the fanatics with its beauty even more than before. We also learned that the show had a budget of $250 million, and approximately 100 people were involved in the making of one season. So, it makes sense why the creators looked forward to wrapping the series in the second season.
But this isn’t the end of the road as the creators have confirmed that there are more stories to tell in the League of Legends universe. So, we can expect to visit Runeterra again very soon but with a new cast of characters. Meanwhile, do let us know how you liked the Arcane TV series in the comments section below.
