Home Release Preview: Arcane Season Two
The second and final season of ARCANE returned to Netflix in November 2024. The animated series, based on the League of Legends game and one of Netflix’s most successful animated series ever, is created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee. Executive producers include Linke, Marc Merrill and Brandon Beck. The Animation Studio is Fortiche Production. Voices include Hailee Steinfeld (Vi), Annie Award winner Ella Purnell (Jinx) and Katie Leung (Caitlyn), Reed Shannon (Ekko), Amirah Vann (Sevika), Mick Wingert (Heimerdinger), Ellen Thomas (Ambessa), and Brett Tucker (Singed) among others. Fortiche directed and produced the animation, under the direction of the founders Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord. The series follows the origins of iconic League champions Vi and Jinx. Picking up after the events of season one, season two follows the fallout from Jinx’s attack on the council, which sets the stage for a dire escalation of the conflict between the utopian city of Piltover, and the oppressed underground city of Zaun.

"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
