Arcane season 2 is still a long way off yet, but according to star Ella Purnell, fans had better start gearing themselves up for its “devastating” finale.
While promotingnew Prime Video show Falloutrecently, the actor, who voices Jinx in the Netflix animated series, was asked what she could tease about the second chapter. “Oh man, I’m trying to remember it [season 1] because it was over two years ago,” she replied.
“I actually just went back into the studio to complete some ADR [automated dialog replacement] for the season 2 finale – and I cried. So, I think other people will cry, too. It’s devastating, and nobody will feel good after watching it.”
Based on the battle arena title League of Legends, and also starring the likes of Harry Potter’s Katie Leung andHawkeye’s Hailee Steinfeld, Arcane centers on sisters Powder and Vi, as they find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing conflict between the utopian city Piltover and its oppressed underbelly Zaun. Season 1 ended with Vi unable to stop Powder from being corrupted by brutal, tech-savvy rebel Silco (Jason Spisak), and subsequently turned into violent and manic anarchist Jinx, as she’s known in the source material.
Little is known about season 2’s plot yet, asits first – and so far, only – teasermerely focused on mad alchemist Singed, who appeared briefly in the first season, and his augmented, wolf-like monster Warwick, who League players should recognize (and who may or may not be former rebellion leader Vander).
