League of Legends' animated series, Arcane, will conclude after its second season, quelling speculation that it was intended to run for five seasons. Riot Games' co-founder Marc Merrill clarified that while there were internal discussions about budgeting for potential future seasons, the series was always planned for two. This confirmation comes amidst fans' disappointment after Netflix announced that season two would be Arcane’s last. Despite the conclusion of the series, Riot remains committed to expanding the League of Legends universe through other storytelling avenues.

Was Arcane originally meant to have five seasons?
