As soon as Arcane premiered on Netflix on Nov. 6, people swarm to the streamer to see what this animated television adaptation would be about and if it will do justice to the game in which it’s set, League of Legends. Well, it looks like this Netflix original series was a hit with viewers because it’s been renewed for a second season. Arcane season 2 is officially happening, but sadly, you won’t be seeing it in December 2021.
Arcane just premiered a couple of weeks ago, and the last set of episodes of season 1 dropped on Nov. 20, so it’s impossible that you’d see the new season in December. The only way that could’ve possibly happened is if two seasons were already done and ready for viewing. However, Arcane was initially only given a one-season order, so only one season was filmed and produced. Although Netflix might sometimes (rarely) release two seasons of its animated series in the same year, this wasn’t the case for Arcane.
Unfortunately, it looks like we won’t be seeing Arcane season 2 in 2022 either. On Nov. 20, the CEO of Riot Games, Nicolo Laurent, tweeted that the upcoming second season will not be ready for a 2022 release. This isn’t surprising since it took six years for the first season to be made. But, we still held hope that there would be a new season in the new year. The good news is that we won’t have to wait six years to see Arcane season 2, according to Riot Games CEO.
So when can we expect Arcane season 2? We share everything we know about the second installment right below.
Arcane season 2 release date
Netflix has not released an official season 2 release date, so all we can share with you is our release date predictions. Unfortunately, not much information is known about season 2 other than that it’s happening, production has started, and that it won’t be coming in 2022. So our best guess for when the new season will make its way to Netflix is 2023 at the earliest.
The second season could even arrive later than 2023, like sometime in 2024. But, for now, expect Arcane season 2 to land on Netflix sometime in 2023. We’ll keep you posted on all things Arcane season 2, so stay tuned!
The complete first season of Arcane is streaming now only on Netflix. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t already!
