Arcane (TV series)

Updated: 12/11/2025, 9:44:54 AM Wikipedia source

Arcane (titled onscreen as Arcane: League of Legends) is a steampunk action-adventure television series created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee. It was produced by the French animation studio Fortiche, under the supervision of Riot Games, and distributed by Netflix. Set in Riot's League of Legends universe, it primarily focuses on sisters Violet / "Vi" (Hailee Steinfeld) and Powder / Jinx (Ella Purnell) as they become embroiled in a conflict between their native underbelly of Zaun and the city of Piltover. First announced at the League of Legends tenth anniversary celebration in 2019, the series' first season was released in November 2021, and a second and final season was released in November 2024.

Arcane was met with critical acclaim, with praise for its animation, writing, worldbuilding, soundtrack, and voice acting, though the pacing of the second season saw a mixed response. Some have noted the series' appeal to both viewers who have never played League of Legends and longtime fans of the game. It was Netflix's highest-rated series within a week of its premiere, ranked first on the Netflix Top 10 Chart in 52 countries, and second on the chart in the United States. Several critics and publications have considered it to be one of the best video game adaptations ever made. The series won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program, as well as the Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated Television Broadcast Production.

Zaunite sisters Vi and Powder find their parents dead in the aftermath of a battle on the Bridge of Progress. They are taken in by Vander, the leader of the failed rebellion. Years later, Vi, Powder, and their adopted brothers, Mylo and Claggor, break into a Piltover penthouse. Powder steals a set of magical crystals but accidentally shatters one, causing an explosion that destroys part of the building. Fleeing back to Zaun, the siblings encounter Deckard and his thugs; while they beat them in a fistfight, Powder is chased and loses the loot. Vander, now a respected community leader in Zaun, reprimands the children for their carelessness and attempts to resolve matters with Grayson, Sheriff of Piltover's enforcers, and her subordinate Marcus. Vi berates Mylo for calling Powder a "jinx" and consoles her sister. Somewhere in Zaun, crime lord Silco extracts information from Deckard and works with the scientist Singed to test a volatile mutagen, shimmer, on a rat.

Several years later, Piltover prospers with Jayce's Hextech technology and celebrates its 200th anniversary on Progress Day. Jayce initially plans to unveil a gemstone-powered device he and Viktor developed but decides against it after Heimerdinger warns of its potential dangers. Powder, now an unstable teenager going by Jinx, smuggles shimmer for Silco, whom she sees as a surrogate father. During one operation, the Firelights, a rivaling Zaunite gang, interfere; Jinx mistakes a Firelight for Vi and has a violent breakdown. Caitlyn, an enforcer and Jayce's childhood friend, investigates the incident. Hoping to regain Silco's approval, Jinx steals Jayce's gemstone and triggers an explosion that kills six enforcers. In response, Jayce is granted a seat on Piltover's council to help protect the city. Seeking answers, Caitlyn travels to Stillwater Prison and encounters Vi, now an adult, imprisoned by Marcus.

November 13, 2021 (2021-11-13)
After Viktor collapses in the lab, he and Jayce begin to study the "Hexcore", a revolutionary Hextech device capable of interacting with organic matter and potentially curing diseases. Heimerdinger deems it too dangerous and orders it destroyed, prompting Jayce to orchestrate his removal from the council. Alone, Viktor seeks out Singed, his former mentor, for help in perfecting the Hexcore. Silco orders Marcus to kill Vi and Caitlyn before they can return to Piltover. Jayce orders a bridge blockade for Piltover's protection. Jinx interrogates Sevika and learns of Vi's return. Vi and Caitlyn take refuge in a safehouse as Vi recovers from her fight with Sevika, but Silco locates them after bribing local addicts with shimmer. After escaping, the pair spot a blue flare—one Vi gave Jinx before their ill-fated mission to rescue Vander. The sisters reunite, but Caitlyn's presence triggers Jinx's mistrust. The Firelights then intervene, steal the gemstone, and abduct Caitlyn and Vi, leaving Jinx behind, screaming in anguish.

At the blockade, Marcus stops Ekko and Caitlyn and prepares to kill the latter after shooting Ekko.

The death of the child, son of chem-baroness Renni, forces Jayce to realize the potential cost of a war between Piltover and Zaun. He brokers a peace treaty with Silco, offering Zaun's independence in exchange for Jinx. Ekko reveals the Firelights' hideout to Heimerdinger. Stricken with guilt over Sky's death, Viktor has Jayce promise to destroy the Hexcore. Silco laments choosing between Zaun's freedom and Jinx, who overhears him. After beating Sevika in a fight, Vi is abducted by Jinx and awakens restrained alongside Caitlyn and Silco in the warehouse where Vander died. Jinx hands Vi a pistol and forces her to choose between Caitlyn and herself. Vi refuses and instead appeals to their childhood, causing Jinx to suffer a traumatic breakdown. Silco breaks free and fires at Vi, but misses. Jinx inadvertently shoots him, and with his dying breath, Silco reaffirms his fatherly love for her. Devastated, Jinx finally embraces her new identity. She weaponizes the gemstone into a rocket launcher and fires at the Piltover council just as they approve Zaun's independence.

Zaunite sisters Vi and Powder find their parents dead in the aftermath of a battle on the Bridge of Progress. They are taken in by Vander, the leader of the failed rebellion. Years later, Vi, Powder, and their adopted brothers, Mylo and Claggor, break into a Piltover penthouse. Powder steals a set of magical crystals but accidentally shatters one, causing an explosion that destroys part of the building. Fleeing back to Zaun, the siblings encounter Deckard and his thugs; while they beat them in a fistfight, Powder is chased and loses the loot. Vander, now a respected community leader in Zaun, reprimands the children for their carelessness and attempts to resolve matters with Grayson, Sheriff of Piltover's enforcers, and her subordinate Marcus. Vi berates Mylo for calling Powder a "jinx" and consoles her sister. Somewhere in Zaun, crime lord Silco extracts information from Deckard and works with the scientist Singed to test a volatile mutagen, shimmer, on a rat.

Jayce and Mel survive Jinx's rocket assault alongside councilors Shoola and Salo, while the remainder of the Council—including Cassandra, Caitlyn's mother—are killed. Salo is left crippled and Viktor is gravely wounded, prompting Jayce to renege on his promise to destroy the Hexcore and instead fuse it with Viktor to save his life. Ambessa pushes the Council toward military retaliation against Zaun, though Mel opposes the use of Hextech weaponry. Vi declines Caitlyn's offer to join the enforcers but agrees to attend a memorial for the fallen councilors. The event is ambushed by Renni and her followers in revenge for Jayce killing her son; the enforcers are unable to hold them back until Ambessa and her Noxian forces arrive, killing the attackers. Salo calls for all-out war with Zaun. Proposing an alternative strategy, Caitlyn forms a specialized unit armed with Jayce's Hextech weapons, led by herself, Vi, and enforcers Maddie, Lorris, and Steb, to capture Jinx, eliminate the remaining Chem-Barons, and shut down shimmer production at its source.

As Caitlyn's task force continues their mission, Vi grows concerned by her aggression. Ambessa thwarts an assassination attempt on herself by the Black Rose, a cabal of Noxian sorcerers, prompting them to abduct Mel. Meanwhile, Jayce brings Ekko and Heimerdinger to the Hex Vault, where Piltover's Hextech is managed, and they discover a volatile arcane anomaly dubbed a "wild rune".

To return home, the two work with this universe's Powder, who never became Jinx, to recreate the wild rune and channel it into a time-reversal device. During this time, Ekko falls in love with Powder but ultimately decides to return to his own universe. Despite the device proving unstable, Heimerdinger successfully returns Ekko at the cost of vanishing himself, his fate unknown. Meanwhile, Jayce is transported to a post-apocalyptic future where Hextech has destroyed Piltover and reunites with the hooded mage who saved him as a child. Learning this future is a result of Viktor's actions, Jayce promises to stop him before being sent back by the mage, leading to the events at the sanctuary.

Following the sanctuary attack, Jinx is arrested and Singed uses Vander's remains to save Viktor. Vi confronts Caitlyn, who then visits Jinx and admits her exhaustion with hatred; Jinx responds that she was unaware of Cassandra's presence during the rocket strike. Now fully awakened to her magical abilities, Mel escapes the prison and reunites with Jayce, revealing she had shielded him during Jinx's rocket assault, but Jayce accuses her of manipulating both Viktor and himself. An emissary from Viktor arrives to request access to the Hexgate anomaly for the completion of Viktor's transformation. Spurned, Viktor allies with Ambessa to launch an attack on Piltover. Meanwhile, Singed destroys what remains of Vander to fully restore Viktor. Vi releases Jinx, who then imprisons her, stating that Vi deserves peace. Caitlyn later releases Vi and reveals she had anticipated Jinx's release, and the two have sex. As Ambessa reveals Viktor's amassed forces, Jayce calls for Piltover to prepare its defense.

As Noxian forces attack, Piltover's defenders hold the line as Jayce dismantles the Hex Vault. However, Maddie, revealed to be a spy, sabotages the mission. Reinforcements arrive from Zaun, led by Jinx, who had been dissuaded from suicide by Ekko, but the attack is revealed to be a diversion while Viktor infiltrates the Vault. Vander, now fully stripped of his humanity, engages Vi and Jinx. Meanwhile, Mel kills Maddie and Caitlyn disarms Ambessa's magical protection, triggering the arrival of the Black Rose sorceress, who kills Ambessa. Viktor gains control of the wild rune and subdues nearly all opposition except for Ekko, who disrupts the rune's influence using his time-reversal device and frees Jayce. Jayce convinces Viktor to abandon his plan by revealing his encounter with the hooded mage, revealed to be Viktor's remorseful future self. Together, they destroy the wild rune, freeing everyone from its control, but vanish in the process. Vander however, remains feral, and attacks Vi, forcing Jinx to seemingly sacrifice herself to save her sister. In the aftermath, Sevika joins the Council as Zaun's representative, Mel departs for Noxus, Singed partially cures his daughter, and Vi and Caitlyn ponder their future.

"Heavy Is the Crown"

November 9, 2024 (2024-11-09)
Jayce and Mel survive Jinx's rocket assault alongside councilors Shoola and Salo, while the remainder of the Council—including Cassandra, Caitlyn's mother—are killed. Salo is left crippled and Viktor is gravely wounded, prompting Jayce to renege on his promise to destroy the Hexcore and instead fuse it with Viktor to save his life. Ambessa pushes the Council toward military retaliation against Zaun, though Mel opposes the use of Hextech weaponry. Vi declines Caitlyn's offer to join the enforcers but agrees to attend a memorial for the fallen councilors. The event is ambushed by Renni and her followers in revenge for Jayce killing her son; the enforcers are unable to hold them back until Ambessa and her Noxian forces arrive, killing the attackers. Salo calls for all-out war with Zaun. Proposing an alternative strategy, Caitlyn forms a specialized unit armed with Jayce's Hextech weapons, led by herself, Vi, and enforcers Maddie, Lorris, and Steb, to capture Jinx, eliminate the remaining Chem-Barons, and shut down shimmer production at its source.

Following Silco and Renni's deaths, the Chem-Barons clash for power over Zaun despite Sevika's calls for unity. Smeech, one of the Barons, proposes surrendering Jinx to Piltover to end hostilities, but Sevika refuses. Elsewhere, Caitlyn's team raids Jinx's hideout, forcing her to flee. During her escape, Jinx rescues a young orphan named Isha from her attackers. Later, Smeech is killed by the two and Sevika after a failed assassination attempt on Jinx. In Piltover, Viktor awakes from his coma and, realizing Jayce broke his promise, parts ways with him. Returning to Zaun, he finds that the Hexcore has given him magical abilities after he heals Huck, a shimmer addict, and inspires a cult-like following. Meanwhile, the Firelights' tree, vital for their sustenance, begins to show signs of magical corruption, prompting Ekko and Heimerdinger to infiltrate the Academy and consult Jayce.

As Caitlyn's task force continues their mission, Vi grows concerned by her aggression. Ambessa thwarts an assassination attempt on herself by the Black Rose, a cabal of Noxian sorcerers, prompting them to abduct Mel. Meanwhile, Jayce brings Ekko and Heimerdinger to the Hex Vault, where Piltover's Hextech is managed, and they discover a volatile arcane anomaly dubbed a "wild rune". Vi convinces Caitlyn to break from the task force and pursue Jinx alone. They are ambushed by Jinx and Sevika; in the skirmish, Vi stops Caitlyn from executing Jinx when Isha intercedes. The three escape and trigger an explosion that ruptures Zaun's air ducts, unleashing toxic gases into Piltover. As a result, Caitlyn severs ties with Vi, and Ambessa convinces the Piltovans to declare martial law, positioning Caitlyn as commander-in-chief—unaware that Ambessa herself orchestrated the memorial attack. Elsewhere, Singed is revealed to have created a human-wolf hybrid.

Some time after the declaration of martial law, a joint Piltovan-Noxian force occupies Zaun, Jinx has gone into hiding with Isha, Caitlyn has entered a relationship with Maddie, and Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger remain missing since their encounter with the wild rune. Caitlyn grows suspicious of Ambessa, who has been secretly conducting Hextech research aimed at combating the Black Rose, albeit to no success. Sevika spurs Jinx, who is revered by the Zaunites as a hero, to lead a revolt. Although Jinx refuses, Isha is captured during a rally by enforcers led by Ambessa's lieutenant, Rictus, prompting her and Sevika to infiltrate Stillwater Hold to rescue her. Singed is also detained but leaves a blood trail for his human-wolf hybrid to follow. The creature breaks into the prison and slaughters guards and inmates alike before encountering Jinx and Sevika; Jinx engages the creature while Sevika escapes with Isha, but is eventually overpowered. As the creature prepares to kill her, it hesitates upon recognizing her as Powder.

Recognizing the creature as Vander, Jinx seeks out Vi, who has become a pit fighter after her fallout with Caitlyn, and brings her to an abandoned mine, where the creature initially attacks them before ultimately recognizing them. Meanwhile, Ambessa enlists Singed to track Vander. Caitlyn identifies Singed as Corin Reveck, a disgraced Piltovan academic whose experiments aim to cure his comatose daughter Orianna. Elsewhere, Mel is imprisoned by a shadowed Black Rose sorceress and reunites with her brother Kino, who is believed to be dead. She learns that Ambessa's illegitimate child is the true target of her captors before realizing Kino is an illusion, and unleashes her latent magical abilities. At the Hex Vault, Jayce escapes the wild rune and encounters Salo, recently healed by Viktor, while retrieving a Hexgate core. Traumatized by the experience, Jayce vows to destroy Hextech and kills Salo.

Viktor, accompanied by Sky's spirit, investigates the wild rune phenomenon after witnessing Salo's murder. Jinx, Vi, and Isha bring Vander to Viktor's sanctuary in hopes for a recovery. Over several days, Viktor gradually restores Vander's humanity. Meanwhile, with Singed's help, Ambessa and Caitlyn track Vander to the sanctuary. Singed attempts to persuade Viktor to surrender Vander, but Viktor refuses, recognizing Singed's true motive is to save his daughter. While following Singed back to a Noxian camp, Vi is captured by Caitlyn. Ambessa orders Caitlyn and Singed to undo Viktor's work, but Vi and Caitlyn reveal themselves to be allied; together, they subdue Ambessa and Singed. Haunted by his experience in the wild rune, Jayce infiltrates the sanctuary and kills Viktor, triggering a violent backlash from those Viktor healed, including Vander, who becomes uncontrollably savage and kills Rictus. Ambessa and her forces attack the sanctuary; in an act of sacrifice, Isha overloads Jinx’s pistol with Hextech gems to destroy Vander and several Noxian soldiers, leaving Jinx devastated.
