ARCANE Spinoff Projects Are Currently in Development
While fans eagerly wait for the second and final season of the animated series Arcane, Netflix has confirmed that there are spinoff shows currently in development!
These other projects will expand on the universe outside of the two fan-favorite characters Jinx and Vi. Season two will close out the story for these sisters, but there are other stories to explore, and I’m happy to learn that more is coming!
Arcane co-creator Christian Linke shared in a new video that the creative team always had an ending in mind for the animated series. Linke then hinted at what is to come for the League of Legends franchise in animation.
He said: "The story of Arcane wraps up with the second season. Arcane is just the beginning of our larger storytelling journey, and our partnership with the wonderful animation studio in Paris called Fortiche."
While it’s not revealed what other characters will be explored, Linke did say they want to give a similar treatment to more "champions" that Jinx and Vi had received, "Their arcs have grown so far beyond our original dreams for them and we want to give the same treatment to more champions.”
He added: “So we're currently working on our next projects across television and film, and we're hopeful that we can share more by the end of the year.
“We're still really early in the stages of that process, and these things do take a lot of time, but we'd like to share updates with you whenever we can."
If you haven’t watched Arcane yet, it’s a must-watch series! One of the best animated shows on Netflix. In the series, "In the cities of Piltover and Zaun, tensions rise as inventors, hooligans, politicians, and crime lords grow increasingly dissatisfied with the constraints of a devastated society.
“With the situation on the verge of being unsustainable, two sisters steal an artifact of immeasurable power. Discovery and danger collide as heroes are born and bonds are broken. Will this power change the world? Or will it lead to ruin? This is the world of Arcane."
When it comes to the story of Jinx and Vi, "Amidst the escalating unrest between the rich, utopian city of Piltover and its seedy, oppressed underbelly of Zaun, sisters Vi and Jinx find themselves on opposing sides of a brewing conflict over clashing convictions and arcane technologies."
Arcane Season 2 will premiere on Netflix in November!
