Will Zeri join Arcane season 2?
Arcane Season 2 | Everything We Know So Far
Arcane was a huge success back when it was released, and we can't help ourselves to be hyped for what else the next season of the award-winning series has to offer.
After six years in the making, the fans finally got the show they all had been waiting for, and despite the long wait, we are pleased with the results. Even people that had never heard of the League of Legends world were captivated by the series, and now we are all just waiting for the next season.
The first season premiered on November 6, 2021, and almost a year after its first release, we are beyond excited to see what else Riot Games and Fortiche have to offer for Season 2. Arcane has also managed to build up quite an expectation by winning nine prizes in the Annie Awards and winning at the Emmys for Best Animated Program.
But what do we actually know about the next season so far? Which character will return for the next season, and when can we expect season 2 to come out? We are here to give you all the must-know information about Season 2 of our beloved show, Arcane.

Arcane Season 2: Release Date
An exact date hasn't been confirmed yet, but it is official that the second season will finally be released in November 2024 exclusively on Netflix. The wait has felt like ten years, but now we have a timeframe to look forward to. Many speculate that the series will be available online on November 2nd, though this hasn't been officially confirmed.
The makers of Arcane already put a lot of love into season one, and it took a total of six years for the series to be created. There are also a lot of expectations for Season 2, so the developers didn't want to rush and therefore postponed the release date from 2023 to 2024. This is unfortunate for us viewers, as we have to wait longer, but we all want the same quality as the first season. So, we have to accept the longer wait. Because let's be honest, we don't want another Game of Thrones final season moment.
Arcane Season 2: Location
The world of Runterra has so many exciting places to explore. Still, for now, we hope you aren't tired of Season one's scenery, as it was recently confirmed on the final episode of Bridging the Rift that Season 2 of Arcane will also take place in Piltover and Zaun.
The two cities are mirror images of one another where Piltover depicts a flourishing city with a good economy, strengthened by its technological advancement in academia. However, on the other side of the coin, we have Zaun - a city whose inhabitants live in chemicals but still have a thriving society of its own.
It is still unknown if we will exit these two cities for Season 2, but looking at the abrupt end of Season 1 and with some acquired lore knowledge, we believe there is a chance we will also enter Noxus in the next season.
Additionally, there have already been hints towards another season or even a separate series where we get to explore other parts of Runeterra. They don't want to rush things and produce overcrowded and overstuffed series; instead, they prefer to fully focus on one part. But a small crossover wouldn't hurt, would it?

Arcane Season 2: Plot
Because of the abrupt ending in Season 1, some questions still need to be answered, which we predict will play a big part in Season 2.
We already left Season 1 seeing the beginning of Jayce and Viktor's story. According to LoL lore, the two characters will have a deep falling out, eventually developing into a rivalry between the two scientists.
The developers have also announced that there will be more background information on Ekko and Jinx, as well as Silco and Vander. Whether we will see this in Season 2 remains to be seen.
Also, as we mentioned, we believe Noxus plays a big part in Season 2, and we might even be introduced to the visionary ruler of Noxus, Swain. Or we could also become acquainted with the founder of the Black Rose, Le Blanc. Many speculate that she already appeared as a background figure in Season 1, so it is not unlikely that we will encounter her.
Another character we believe will become essential in the upcoming season is Singed. In the final Singed scene of Season 1, we can clearly see him working on Warwick (whom many believe to be Vander). In the same scene, there is also a picture of a girl who bears a striking resemblance to Orianna. So, there might be a connection between the characters here as well.
We believe Singed will play a big part next season because of his LoL lore. If you have already read it, you might know how big of an influence Singed had on everything happening in Runeterra, so it would be safe to assume that he will also play a significant role in Arcane.
Even though we already have a ton of LoL lore available, we cannot predict everything. The Arcane writers do everything they can to make the story as thrilling as possible. Amanda Overtone, one of the Writers in Arcane, had this to say about the creation of the plot for Season 2:
The other blessing and curse for me and Alex is, we're never satisfied and we always want it to be better. So, no matter how much you think you might know about whats coming in Season 2, there is always going to be tons of new stuff to discover.
Trailer
The trailer shows us that we will encounter many familiar characters, but it especially confirms our suspicion: Singed will play a major role.
However, the storyline of Season 2 is still being kept tightly under wraps. We are very excited to see who else will appear in Season 2 and what conflicts will arise. Some cast members have already been announced.
Arcane Season 2: Cast
We can assume that most of the cast from Season 1 will return for Season 2 as well. This means Jinx, Vi, Ekko, Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, Silco, Mel, Vander and Singed will presume their previous roles.
As we already mentioned, Swain will likely play a vital role next season, because of all the talk about Noxus in Season 1.
Some fans also speculate that one of the newer LoL champions, Zeri, will appear on the screen because of her close relationship with Ekko. So maybe she will be a part of the Firelights?

All in all, the opportunities for which characters will join us for Season 2 are endless, and for now, all we can do is speculate. To mention some fan theories of character appearances, we have the possible arrival of the Black Rose and Leblanc and the possibility of having Camille join the squad as well.
Who do you think will join the second season of Arcane? Maybe we will see some of the other Plitover / Zaun show up, like Blitzcrank and Twitch.
