Arcane Season 2 showrunner admits he’s “somewhat worried” about the finale because not many TV shows “had an ending that everyone was happy with”

Arcane co-creator Christian Linke says he’s (understandably) excited but anxious about Arcane’s Season 2 finale.

“I’m really happy that our season is going well so far. I’m kind of anxious because as someone who watches TV, I don’t know how many TV shows you’ve seen that had an ending that everyone is satisfied with. The list isn’t very long, so it’s scary.

Season 1 ended back in November 2021 and didn’t return until November 2024. Netflix announced in June 2024 that Season 2 would be the critically acclaimed and award-winning show’s last, and the news came as a shock to fans. However, Linke has previously said that it was always planned for the series to end this way – and that there is still more to come with this world and the characters.

“There’s no way to weave your way out of the decisions you’ve made with how you wrap things up. So there’s a certain excitement and an anxiety to see what people think. But also, I’m really proud of what we did with the last act, I know there’s great stuff in there – honestly, just excited.”

Arcane season 2 is now streaming on Netflix, with episode 7 set to hit the streamer on November 23rd.
