Arcane Plot and Cast
The new season of Arcane is expected to continue from where Season 1 ended. In the last episode of first season, The Monster created by You saw Jayce initiate a Council vote to give Zaun independence. The vote passed and at that moment, a rocket fired by Jinx hits the Council building.
Considering the problems between Piltover and Zaun in all nine episodes, there is a possibility that the attack on the Council building will lead to more conflict and Zaun’s independence being disrupted, possibly for good.
The basic premise of the show is set in the escalating unrest between the rich, utopian city of Piltover and the seedy, oppressed undercity of Zaun, where sisters Vi and Jinx find themselves in the opposing sides of a brewing war over clashing convictions and arcane technologies.
Coming to the cast, we might get to see Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell, Kevin Alejandro, Katie Leung, Jason Spisak, Harry Lloyd and others reprising their roles in Season 2.
