The series finale of what might be Netflix’s best show is now live

It is the end of an era after three long years and two seasons. What is arguably Netflix’s best show in terms of combined critic and audience results over two seasons, Excitingis now over today.

The series finale is three episodes that went live on Saturday, joining two batches of three episodes that aired the previous two weekends, a release structure the creators had to “fight for,” they said, given how unconventional the release of Arcane has been.

I haven’t seen them yet (it’s 9am!) so no spoilers, but audience score dipped straight little now that these episodes are live from 96% to 94%, although critic scores remain a perfect 100%. So Arcane will end its run with the all-time Netflix scores based on the number of critic reviews, audience reviews and number of seasons.

No, there is no season 3 of Arcane city design. It’s not canceled, it’s just that Riot wants to move on from this group of characters and onto some of the other 169 league champions for new stories. Here’s what co-creator Christian Linke said about the plan for future shows:

“Yeah, we’re currently developing a lot of follow-up projects. Really, Arcane was always considered the first step, kind of like the trial by fire. You have to figure out, “Can we do this? Do we have the chops? Do we have the grades? Do we have the storytelling?” So now we’re working on follow-up projects, and it’s really fun to start looking at some of the other characters and regions of our world.”

The question, of course, is what those projects would be and how long it would take to get there. Three years passed between seasons of Arcane, longer than almost any show even in the streaming era, so it could be 2027 or later until we see a new series, whatever that may be, if they’re still using this laborious beautiful and time -consuming animation style (which of course they should). While Arcane Season 2 was worth the wait, I’d be thrilled to see another series this good, even if the wait is interminable. At least we don’t have a cliffhanger or half a story to resolve this time.

I will watch the last three episodes by the end of the day and we will see how things develop. It’s hard to imagine them not sticking the landing, but there’s admittedly a large number of stories to wrap up. Either way, I can’t wait to see how it all ends.
