Arcane Season 2: Netflix Shared First Official Video of the Second Season
The trailer for Arcane Season 2, the second season of the series on the Netflix streaming platform, set in the League of Legends universe, has been released online. If Netflix has become a cornerstone of the world of animation over the years, it is mainly due to products like Arcane: the series set in the world of League of Legends was perhaps able to reveal to the world the potential of the platform in this sense before many other operations, and next November it aims to reconfirm itself. After a long period of silence, in recent weeks Netflix has announced the arrival of the second season of Arcane at the end of 2024, making the many fans who have been waiting for years for news on the new adventures of Jinx, Vi, and co: only in recent hours, however, we have finally been able to set our sights on something concrete.
Netflix has published the first teaser for the second season of Arcane: it is a clip of a few seconds in which Shimmer makes its appearance again, the very dangerous drug that played a very important role during the first season, allowing more than a character to change and acquire enormous strength at the expense of his lucidity. And you, have you already guessed who the gigantic character subjected to a Shimmer-based treatment is in the teaser of the Netflix series? Let us know in the comments! In the meantime, here you can find our review of the first season of Arcane.
Arcane Season 2: Netflix Shared First Official Video
In the video that presents this second season, a rather dark story seems to be on the horizon. The Arcane series focuses on the game characters Jinx and Vi. Set in the world of League of Legends, Arcane is about the delicate balance between the wealthy city of Piltover and the squalor of Zaun. The creation of Hextech, which allows you to control magical energy, will threaten this balance. During its release, Arcane impressed audiences and critics, earning a second season. The new episodes of the animated series will be available in November on Netflix. Considering that the first season of Arcane was released in 2021, we are talking about a three-year wait before we get to see the new episodes. Moreover, the CEO of Riot Games, Nicolo Laurent, had already anticipated this timing. Laurent, during a past interview, had declared that it would take time to create the new episodes because to obtain quality work it was necessary to work well to arrive at the final product.
A nightmarish augmentation.

The Synopsis of the Arcane Season 1
Arcane explores the delicate balance between the wealthy city of Piltover and the seedy side of Zaun. Tensions between these two city-states come to a breaking point with the creation of Hextech, which each can use to control the magical energy in Piltover. Meanwhile, in Zaun, a new drug called shimmer transforms humans into monsters. The rivalry between the cities divides families and friends as Arcane brings to life the relationships that shape some of League of Legends’ most popular champions like Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jayce, and Viktor. Inspired by the world of the League of Legends video game, the animated series presents a complex universe characterized by moral decisions, breathtaking animation, and suspenseful storytelling.
An Increasingly Larger Cast
In all the chaos that will probably result from the fight between Piltover and Zaun, therefore, we also await the introduction of Singed and Warwick, two other characters from the enormous cast of League of Legends who will enter the narrative of the animated series, probably not the only new features of this second season. Singed is a Zaun alchemist gifted with great intellect, but who has practically lost control and sanity behind increasingly extreme experiments, so much so that he has become mad without any trace of humanity.
Warwick, the “unleashed fury of Zaun”, is a gigantic monstrous wolf, modified by alchemical experiments that tore his body, leading him to accumulate a total fury he vents by hunting down the city’s criminals. We look forward to seeing them in action in the second part of the series, remembering that the release month of Arcane: Season 2 is still far away, set for November 2024.
