Arcane’s Final Episodes Are Now Streaming With Netflix: Watch

Why Arcane Is Ending After Two Seasons

Arcane: League of Legends has officially come to an end after two seasons, and wrapped up its run as one of the most expensive to produce animated series of all time. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the franchise won’t be continuing, it just won’t be continuing in its current form. Arcane series co-creator Christian Linke spoke to ComicBook earlier this year about the decision to end the animated series after two seasons, and explained that it was always the plan to bring the story to an end at this point.

“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,” Linke said. “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.” But while this is the end of the story, this could eventually lead to more League of Legends stories within the wider world of the franchise.

Will Arcane Get a Season 3?

While Arcane has ended after Season 2, League of Legends has a ton of characters within its original video game releases. Just as the title for the series suggests overall, it’s built with a potential to continue as an anthology series in future installments. Netflix has already seen success with these kinds of video game anthologies with the likes of Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne, and given how big of a hit Arcane has been already, it does stand to reason that there would also be success in the future of new stories tackling other characters.

Originally created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee for production studio Fortiche, in partnership with League of Legends parent company Riot Games, Arcane runs for 18 episodes overall across its two seasons. Now streaming with Netflix, the massively popular animated series stars Ella Purnell as Jinx, Hailee Steinfeld as Vi, Katie Leung as Caitlyn, Reed Shannon as Ekko, and many more at the center of all of the chaos that’s now come to an end with the final batch of episodes. Now it’s just a matter of catching up and seeing what comes next.
