Co-founder of Riot Games, League of Legends creator, and arcane producer Mark Merrill clarified some confusion around arcane and its reported original “five-season” plan.
revealed in a report arcane It is the most expensive animated show ever produced, with a production budget of $250 million for 18 episodes, and it has been revealed that the animated series was originally planned for five seasons.
Well, Merrill refuted the five-season claim and said the Netflix series will only have two seasons.
Merrill shared on Reddit: “arcane It was always written as two seasons. We also always dream of telling more stories and continuing to expand the universe.
“This has never changed – people are simply interested in rumors or misleading headlines and Riot does not correct them – but given the momentum these rumors are gaining, we’re happy to set the record straight.”
Merrill went on to explain: “Just because that’s our intention, doesn’t mean it’s easy or that we can produce these things like a factory – just like making games that are worth players’ time/love is very difficult, so it’s Telling great stories and making incredible shows/movies (especially when we’re building it from scratch for the first time).
co-creator Christian Link Speaking previously about the show’s two-season run, he said: “We always had a specific story in mind. Look, you can extend it, I’m sure. But for us, it was always just like we started with Just thinking about this, I think being a creative also has a personal perspective.
“We’ve all seen TV shows where it’s obvious that the writers are running out of energy. How inspired can you stay on the same thing and for how long?
“We spent nine years with these characters. I think there’s a responsibility, that’s how we feel about it.
He added, “That’s the story we wanted to tell in our minds. To stretch it to the point where it feels like we can’t even really do it justice is irresponsible. I think that’s a big part of it.” We don’t want to do it. Too much.
so far arcane Season 2 is great! I love this show and I think the story is worth every penny spent.
I can’t wait to see what the next series will be!
