Why is Arcane ending with season 2?
It was announced in June that Arcane season 2 will be the last, with co-creator Christian Linke saying at the time: "Arcane is just the beginning of our larger storytelling journey and partnership with the wonderful animation studio that is Fortiche.
"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. But Arcane is just the first of many stories that we want to tell in Runeterra."
This certainly sounds as though while the series is ending, spin-offs and other shows set in the world could be a possibility.
In an interview in October, Linke expanded on this, saying: "We always had a story in mind with a beginning and an end. I think it was really just the character arcs. We knew that there was a specific thing we wanted to do.
"We didn’t necessarily have a specific episode count in mind, but we always knew it would be a finite story.
"It wasn’t this open-ended concept for a series. It was pretty organic for us, so there was never this question of, 'Oh, when will it end? We don’t know.' We knew from the start."
Arcane season 2 will continue on Netflix on Saturday 16th November 2024. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
