Will there be a continuation of Arcane?

Arcane won't continue as a third season. The show's creators planned two seasons from the start, and season 2, released on Netflix in November 2024, ends Jinx and Vi's story. Riot Games and the animation studio Fortiche have said they'll keep making animated projects set in Runeterra, the world of League of Legends, so new shows may follow, but with different stories and regions.

Why Arcane ended after two seasons

  • The story was finished. The creators described the two seasons as one complete arc about Piltover, Zaun and the two sisters.
  • It wasn't cancelled. Ending was a creative decision, not a result of poor ratings; the series was highly acclaimed and won major animation awards.
  • Production is slow and expensive. Fortiche's style takes years per season, so Riot preferred to move on to new stories.

What comes next

Riot has said it is working on further animated stories set in Runeterra. Fans expect other regions of the League of Legends world to get their own series. Until Riot announces specific titles, treat rumors about particular characters or release dates with caution.

Where to watch Arcane

Both seasons stream on Netflix. Arcane is a Netflix release, and there has been no official removal of the series from the service.
