Arcane is one of the best Netflix shows, with its second season landing a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score and impressive reviews. Now, it seems like it will follow in the footsteps of season 1 and get a physical release too, making it available outside of the streaming platform.
The news was confirmed by GKIDS on Bluesky, who wrote: "GKIDS is proud to announce the acquisition of global home entertainment rights to #Arcane Season 2! A full product array, including 4K UHD, will be out later this year." No release date has been announced yet, but fans can sign up for updates on the website to be kept informed.
GKIDS were also behind a physical release of Arcane season 1, which contained three hours of bonus features. It seems likely that season 2 will follow suit and contain some extra goodies for fans of the beloved animated show.
