You wait years for a new season of your favourite show, and then find out it’s ending. In what looks like classic Netflix fashion, today’s action-packed trailer for Arcane season two describes the show’s long-awaited second run of episodes as “The Final Chapter”.
Which, for possibly the best video game adaptation of all time, and just an incredible TV show in general, is pretty bad news.
Spoilers abound for the show’s first season here, as the trailer appears to answer what happened next after the first season’s explosive cliffhanger ending.
Some (but clearly not all) of the series’ characters from season one are present, in this, our best look at Arcane season two yet. It looks great! But hell, to find out these episodes are likely the end of Arcane’s story already is a massive shame.
Arcane’s first nine-episode season debuted on Netflix in 2021. It took six years to make, and was showered by praise from fans of its League of Legends source material and newcomers alike. It was also critically adored, and won that year’s Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program.
The show’s upcoming second season has taken another three years to put together, and it was hoped its story would continue on further. There’s still the possibility of another Arcane-style series set elsewhere within its universe, perhaps, but fans should now seemingly prepare themselves for the show’s overall series finale when new episodes arrive this November.
