Streaming platform Netflix has renewed ‘Arcane’ for season 2 after the suspenseful season 1 cliffhanger, Riot Games ‘League of Legends’.
According to ANI, Riot Games and Netflix unveiled the renewal Saturday during the two-day Undercity Nights events.
The hit drama stars Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell and Katie Leung are set to reprise their roles in the sophomore season as Vi, Jinx, and Caitlyn Kiramman, respectively.
The series, which made its debut earlier in November, is set in the utopian region of ‘League of Legends’ realms Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun.
‘Arcane’, animated by Fortiche Productions, follows the origins of popular League champions sisters Jinx and Vi as they seek to reunite.
Overcoming the world of ‘Arcane’ is a dark power that brings on violence and chaos, and threatens to keep the sisters apart.
The series also features voice performances from Kevin Alejandro, Katie Leung, Jason Spisak, Toks Olagundoye, JB Blanc and Harry Lloyd.
“We’re beyond happy about the positive response to Arcane‘s first season and are working hard with the creative wizards at Riot and Fortiche to deliver our second instalment,” said co-creators Christian Linke and Alex Yee.
“I feel confident in the statement that everyone that works on these things feels like they’re working on the most important thing they’ve ever done in their craft,” he said.
Linke and Yee executive produce alongside Marc Merrill, Brandon Beck, Jane Chung and Thomas Vu.
