It is very important for us to keep both creative and financial control as we enter the world of TV. We are committed to Arcane for multiple seasons. Creative will have the space to craft amazing stories and deep characters.

Arcane Season 2 Plot
No official news of the plot of Arcane Season 2 has been released yet. However, episode nine of the show ended with Jayce asking the Council to allow Zaun its own independence. The vote is soon passed and in that moment, Jinx is seen traumatized from launching a rocket which kills Silco. Season 2 will most likely pick up from this scene or perhaps, Jinx running away with Vi searching for her.
