After a three-year wait, Netflix subscribers were finally able to discover the first episodes of the new season of one of the best series of all time, according to AlloCiné viewers, who gave it a rating of 4.6 out of 5.
And the American-French series produced by Riot Games and directed by Fortiche Production is none other than Arcane, which is set in the world of the famous video game “Legends Legends”. Its first season was praised by critics and the public when it was released in 2021.
Season 2 has been highly anticipated by fans and it just started airing with the first three episodes returning the series to the top of Netflix’s most watched series. The community still has 6 episodes to discover, which will be available in 3 on November 16th and 23rd.
“Arkan” should not have had a second season!
Fans should feel lucky for a second season of Arcane because it wasn’t originally planned. This was revealed by Pascal Charu, co-founder of Fortiche and co-director of the series, during a conference last October at the Forum des Images in Paris. TéléLoisirs):
“Originally, it was only supposed to be one season, that’s how the project was designed. We expected it to be successful, but not on this scale. What was supposed to be ‘one season became two seasons really resulted in exchanges between us and the teams at Riot Games.’
He specified that the work on Arcane took a very long time to meet expectations and achieve an unparalleled level of quality: “Two seasons was already eight years of work, eight years of writing, that’s the equivalent of seven animated movies, so when we did the first pilot, the quality was so high. Then, we had to send a sequel, we only increased the ambitions of the series..
The second season of “Arcane” and that’s it
That’s why there won’t be a third season of Arcane, despite its success. Co-creator Christian Linke has already warned fans Netflix Tudum that Arcane’s story had already been established and there would be no continuation: “We had a very specific ending in mind from the beginning, which means that the story of ARCANE ends with this second season”.
But this does not mean the end of projects around the world of “League of Legends”, as he explains that the series “Arcane is just the first of many stories we want to tell in Runeterra”.
