Netflix Confirms Arcane Season 2 Is The Anime’s Final Chapter
Netflix released a new trailer for Arcane Season 2, alongside a fresh batch of stills from the anime show, and said there won’t be an Arcane Season 3. However, that doesn’t mean the team is finished with Riot’s vast League of Legends universe and all the storytelling potential it holds.

“Arcane is just the beginning of our larger storytelling journey and partnership with the wonderful animation studio that is Fortiche," Arcane co-creator Christian Linke said during a League Dev Update. "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.”
Arcane Chapter 2 picks up after the first season’s harrowing end, where Jinx stops fighting the fact that her path and Vi’s no longer have a chance of converging. The first season ended with Jinx firing a rocket launcher at the Council, right as the Council agreed to grant Zaun independence. Neither action could possibly have good outcomes, and the war between Zaun and Piltover – and the trauma awaiting Jinx and Vi – can only get worse.
The stakes are high, but we still have a little while to go before we can see how it all plays out. Arcane Season 2 airs sometime in November 2024 on Netflix, though the streaming platform hasn’t announced a specific date just yet.
