'Arcane' Season 2 coming to Netflix in November 2024

Netflix

Fans of Arcane, the League of Legends' spinoff series, will have to wait a bit longer for the second season. Netflix revealed during its Geeked Week event on Thursday that the show will return in November 2024. The announcement did not reveal much about the second season's plot, but we know it will explore new locations and characters from the League of Legends universe. Season 1 hinted at Noxus, another major city in the world of Runeterra. We can also expect to see more familiar champions from the game, but we have to wait for a trailer to find out who they are.

The second season will follow the same release schedule as the first one, which debuted on Nov. 6, 2021. However, the exact date in November 2024 is still unknown. The show will continue to be produced by Fortiche Studios and Riot Games, the same team behind the first season. Arcane will also feature the same voice cast, including Hailee Steinfeld as Vi, Ella Purnell as Jinx, Katie Leung as Caitlyn, and more.

Vancouver to host 'The Last of Us' Season 2 filming in early 2024

HBO

According to a report by Variety, the second season of the hit show The Last of Us will enter production in early 2024. The show, which is based on a video game of the same name, follows Joel and Ellie as they travel across the U.S. to find a cure for a deadly fungal infection. Season 1 of the show was a huge success when it premiered on HBO in January 2023. It was renewed for a second season before the Season 1 finale even aired.

While the exact filming locations of Season 2 have yet to be confirmed, we do know that it will be shot in Vancouver. The city’s mayor Ken Sim confirmed the news on X (Twitter) in March 2023. Season 1 of The Last of Us was filmed in Alberta, including in Calgary, Edmonton, and Canmore.
