During a recent interview with TechRadar, Arcane star Ella Purnell, who voices the character of Powder/ Jinx, teased what fans can expect from the highly-anticipated second season of the hit Netflix animated series.
It has been over two years since Arcane concluded its 9-episode first season, which ended with Jinx firing a rocket launcher at the Piltover council after she decided to sever ties with her sister. Purnell promised another “devastating” final episode, revealing that the Season 2 finale made her very emotional during her voice recording session.
“I actually just went back into the studio to complete some ADR [automated dialog replacement] for the season 2 finale – and I cried,” Purnell shared. “So, I think other people will cry, too. It’s devastating, and nobody will feel good after watching it.”
