With the first-look teaser footage drop for Season 2 of the award-winning League of Legends series Arcane, Netflix is promising adult animation fans “a nightmarish augmentation” to the steampunk action-adventure. In the spot, a grimacing figure fondling a pocket watch is being drained of blood by a many-tubed machine, pumping life into a sinister looking project.
The new season is due to drop exclusively on Netflix in November 2024.
