Arcane has ended on Netflix. But if there won't be a season 3, is this really the end of this series considered one of the best on the platform? ? Here's everything we know about the future of the program.
This time, it's the end. After having punctuated the Saturdays of Netflix subscribers, Arcane has ended this Saturday, November 23 with the release of the ninth and final episode of season 2. And while fans probably already knew it, Internet users must face the facts: this is indeed the conclusion of the series, as co-creator Christian Linke announced in June. A hard blow for the streaming platform, which loses one of its best programs due to its many narrative and aesthetic qualities (but also one of the most expensive).
According to information from Variety however, the series Arcane was supposed to last five full seasons. But given the cost of season 1 and 2, Riot Games and Fortiche's schedule had to be modified, and the number of episodes revised the decline. This cost is explained, in particular, by labor and budget overruns, reports the American media. Yes, but. IfArcane, and more specifically the stories of Vi, Jinx, Victor, Jayce and Caitlyn, ends, this conclusion does not signal the end of the projects of adaptations of League of Legends in animated series: “Arcane 'is just the beginning of our journey to tell a bigger story, and it's just the beginning of our partnership with the wonderful Parisian animation studio Fortiche", explained Christian Linke a few months ago. Which was also confirmed before the release of the series, at a conference in Paris.
“Vi and Jinx's arc has evolved so much, way beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of, and we want to give the same treatment to other [League of Legends] champions,” he explained, before confirming that Riot and Fortiche are already currently working on new series and film projects featuring new regions (perhaps Noxus ?) and new champions of the famous online game. We already know that some of the storylines woven in Arcane could be continued in other projects, with existing characters. But which ones ? Only time will tell. In the meantime, you can watch the two complete seasons of Arcane on Netflix.
series profile
Two sisters, Vi and Powder, are taken in after their parents die by Vander, the rebel leader and mayor of the poor, underground district of Zaun, located not far from the prosperous city of Piltover. Years later, during a robbery that goes wrong in Piltover, Vi and Powder discover mysterious crystals in an apartment they attempt to burgle. The story of the two girls, but also of several key characters in the city, will then be completely turned upside down.

Arcane is not broadcast on television and can only be viewed in streaming. You just need a Netflix account to discover the series which has two seasons. Remember that a subscription à the streaming platform is paid, and the price can vary from 5.99 euros/month (with advertising) to 19.99 euros/month.
While the series does not use motion capture at all, the animators film each other to detail the scenes before animating them, in order to adopt a style “semi-realistic”.””On average, we produce half a second per day per animator”, they specified.”And to tease season 2,”in the continuity of the first graphically speaking, but better”. Nothing but ça.

Such an ambition, however, entails numerous costs. According to information from the American media Variety, Arcane would have cost more than 250 million dollars for its two seasons (production and promotion, a cost that has not however been confirmed by Riot Games), becoming the most expensive animated series in history with “only” 18 episodes. The English-language media, however, assures that the series will not be profitable for the studio, and will allow it, at best, to cover its costs.
