What else do we know about the second season of Arcane
The team behind this adventure series has shown a willingness to carefully craft the world of Arcane. It is noteworthy that the creation of the first season took six years. Although the second season will take place over a shorter period of time, three years is still a relatively large gap between seasons. While there is no confirmation as to the direction of the second season, the season one finale strongly hints that the fragile peace between Violet and Jinx and their cities is on the verge of escalating into total chaos.
In terms of voicing Arcane, Hailee Steinfeld (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) is expected to return to voice V, while Ella Purnell (The Yellow Jackets) and Kathy Leung (Peripheral) are also expected to return. voiced by Jinx and Caitlin, respectively. Executive Producer Christian Linke also talked about the surprise soundtrack for Season 2.
While Hidden Secrets’ second season’s confirmed release window is good news for the show’s progression, it’s still a long way from its 2024 return, and will still require a whole year of waiting. However, if the creators of the series manage to bring back the glitz and emotion of the first season, the wait will definitely be worth it.
