League of Legends is not everyone’s cup of tea. Although the game has a reputation for being complex, and full of people with toxic attitudes, that does not mean that its universe is a very rich and interesting one. Full of charismatic characters, places of interest, and a number of stories, events and situations that would make for an infinite number of stories, it is understandable not to like the game, but its universe has potential for something more. Which is exactly what Riot did with the first season of Arcane, of which Netflix has just announced its second season.
Although it has been announced, we must warn you not to expect it anytime soon. Netflix announced on Thursday, November 9th, that the League of Legends spinoff series will not premiere until November 2024.
If you’re one of those who like to know everything before series begin, we’re afraid we have even more bad news for you. Netflix has said absolutely nothing about what this second season will be about, giving us nothing more than a teaser of just 15 seconds, where we see a Jinx not having a very good time. This makes us guess that we will follow her closely, wherever she goes, and given that in the first season, she ended up being an important part of the plot, we don’t rule out that Noxus may be the place she decides to go after becoming the most wanted woman in Piltover.
This would align with the release date of the first season, which premiered on November 6, 2021. Therefore, it is expected that the final date will also be in early November.
For the rest, everything will continue as usual. It will still be produced by Fortiche Studios, the studio responsible for the first season, and Riot Games. In addition to confirming that Hailee Steinfeld will return as Vi, Ella Purnell as Jinx, and Katie Leung as Caitlyn. So, one thing is certain. Even if we move away from Piltover, we won’t be straying far from its characters.
