Draws, destruction, and knockouts await us when Arcane returns to Netflix.
Based on the League of Legends video games, the animated series has been praised for its visual style and storytelling focusing on sisters Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell) and the turbulent conflict between the residents of Zaun and Piltover. The first season introduced the girls as young orphans who were cared for by Vander, a chieftain in the under-resourced city of Zaon.
As teenagers, they were caught up in a heist where Jinx – also known as Powder – stole the magical Hextech crystals from Piltover. It is a moment linked to a series of fateful events involving manipulation, crime, betrayal, and death. In an environment that values magic and pits two class systems against each other, the relationship between the two sisters is tested beyond its limits. War seems imminent. Arcane Season 2 will conclude their story and address the cliffhanger that left Piltover in disarray.
Who lives? Who dies? Who gets modified weapons and whose body changes? Spend some time catching up on Season 1 and then follow below to find out when Arcane’s second and final season airs.
