Arcane season two gets a new, substantial trailer ahead of its November launch on Netflix

These people should move to a nicer town

The second season of animated show Arcane is due to arrive on Netflix this November. After an initial teaser trailer back in June, Netflix have now released a more substantial two-minute trailer that you can watch below.

That looks like the beautifully animated melodrama I remember.

It was also announced alongside the first trailer in June that Arcane's second season would be its last. I think its admirable, given the popularity of the first season and of League Of Legends in general, that they're driving towards a specific ending to the story.

Arcane is produced by French animation studio Fortiche, who Riot Games bought a big part of in 2022. Riot also apparently have plans for a lot more TV and movie projects still to come.

Watching the trailer above got me excited for season two, but also made me realise how little I remember of season one, despite loving it, outside of the broad strokes of its A plot. What's Kate's deal again? What happened to that... other guy? Was someone inventing magic or rediscovering it or...? I'd watch season one again to refresh my memory, but I'm not sure I can face its emotionally intense plot beats again, so instead I'm hoping season two begins with a really meaty recap.

Season two will arrive in November, but there's no specific release date yet.
