Another user agreed by saying: ‘I’m the same. I despise Netflix and will make sure to cancel my membership as soon as I’ve rewatched Arcane 462747728 times this month.’;

‘I got Netflix again just to watch Arcane and will be cancelling it again after the season is done.’

But, now the popular show has returned, fans are ecstatic to see characters Vi (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell) back on their screens

‘Set in Utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League of Legends champions and the power that will tear them apart,’ the official IMDb synopsis reads.

The series has continued its Rotten Tomatoes H๏τ streak with another perfect score. 

Season 1 was a sensational hit for Netflix, earning a coveted 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with an equally impressive 96% audience score. 

The second and final season of Arcane has managed to repeat history, earning another perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. 

But that’s not all, as season 2 has also earned a slightly higher audience score of 97%. 

The reviews praise the new season (which premiered its first three episodes on November 9) as an almost perfect continuation and finale of Jinx and Vi’s rivalry, as Piltover and Zaun commit to all-out war. 

Hailee Steinfeld made jaws drop earlier this month in a stunning gold breastplate at the series’ LA premiere. 

The unique frock highlighted her killer figure as she posed for pH๏τos ahead of the screening at the historic Egyptian Theatre.

Arcane is available to sream on Netflix now.
