  • Arcane‘s creators have revealed the truth about the hit show’s rumored five-season plan
  • It was always going to end after two seasons, despite what a recent report claims
  • The rumor was born out of a prank pulled on co-showrunner Christian Linke years ago

Arcane‘s creators have dismissed reports that the hugely successful show was originally going to run for five seasons.

Speaking exclusively to TechRadar before Arcane season 2 makes its Netflix debut on November 9, Christian Linke and Alex Yee said the situation had been blown out of proportion. Indeed, the pair admitted it was all just a simple misunderstanding, with its origins stemming from a prank that former Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent pulled on Linke years ago.

Linke and Yee’s response comes hot on the heels of a Variety article published on November 6. Citing sources close to the Netflix series’ production, the outlet suggested that Arcane was originally going to run for five seasons. Unsurprisingly, the story spread like wildfire across the internet, leading to fans – myself included – to ask why Riot and Netflix had decided to call time on Arcane after two seasons.

As it happens, Arcane season 2 was always going to be the hit animated show’s final chapter – Linke telling me that a two-season arc was settled on “from the beginning”. And, as Linke and Yee went on to explain, Vi and Jinx’s story was always going to be concluded after two seasons.
