Whatever else is in store for season 2, it looks like it's going to break our hearts. "I actually just went back into the studio to complete some ADR [automated dialog replacement] for the season 2 finale – and I cried," Purnell previously revealed. "So, I think other people will cry, too. It's devastating, and nobody will feel good after watching it."
Season 2 is set to be the final installment of the show, too. "Arcane is just the beginning of our larger storytelling journey and partnership with the wonderful animation studio that is Fortiche," the show's co-creator Christian Linke said during a League Dev Update back in June.
"From the very beginning, since we started working on this project, we had a very specific ending in mind, which means the story of Arcane wraps up with this second season," he continued. "But Arcane is just the first of many stories that we want to tell in Runeterra."
Arcane season 2 releases on Netflix this November. For more, check out our guide to the other best Netflix shows streaming now.
