'Arcane' Season 2 Video Clip Revealed at Netflix Geeked Week

Fans of the Emmy Award-winning Netflix adult animated series Arcane received a sneak peek of what's coming, via an announcement Thursday at Netflix's Geeked Week event. A trailer showed a bloody look at the second and final season. Text on the video promises part 1 of the season will arrive on Nov. 9, part 2 on Nov. 16, and part 3 on Nov. 23.

Arcane follows two sisters, Vi and Jinx, who are swept up in the unrest between the utopian city Piltover and the oppressed district Zaun. Vi is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld and Powder/Jinx by Ella Purnell.

Steinfeld and Purnell also revealed that there will be a new Arcane after-show called Afterglow, with more details to be announced.

"Put simply, Arcane is a masterpiece," CNET reviewer Jennifer Bisset wrote in 2022. "Don't let it go under your radar. This Netflix series might be animated -- it might be based on a video game -- but its characters are more clearly drawn than about 90% of live-action TV." 

In 2022, Arcane won four Primetime Emmy Awards, including outstanding animated program, the first streaming series to nab that prize. It swept the 2022 Annie Awards with wins in nine categories and won best adaptation at the 2022 Game Awards. And the Arcane album was nominated for the 2022 Billboard Music Award for top soundtrack.

The show is set in the League of Legends universe. The first, nine-episode season came out in November 2021.
