Picture: Jinx in Arcane – Riot Games
It’s been almost two years since Netflix renewed the incredible animated series Arcane for a second season. Thanks to the announcement made at Netflix’s Geeked Weekend event, we have confirmation that season 2 will be released 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.
Christian Linke and Alex Yee created and wrote the series. Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord were left with directing duties.
Set in the utopian region of Piltover and the oppressed slum city of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League champions and the power that will tear them apart.
When is Arcane season 2 coming to Netflix?
We’ve known since November 2023 that the second and final season of Arcane will be coming to Netflix in November 2024. We expect the full release date to be confirmed during Netflix’s Geeked Week in September 2024.
A full trailer for the second season was released on September 5th, 2024.

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.
Which cast members will return for Arcane season 2?
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

-
- Kevin Alejandro is JAYCE

We’re not sure if Jason Spisak will return to voice the role of Silco. The character could return through flashbacks or through Jinx’s fractured mind.
No new cast members have been confirmed at this time.
What to expect from Arcane Season 2?
Thanks to Jinx’s actions, a spanner shaped like 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.
