The debut of Arcane on the streaming service grabbed everyones attention. The series became a critical and fan favorite because it was based on a video game. The show now has prestige because of that.
This is the first time a streaming series has won an award for Best Animated Program. It is something that will be brought up once the second season of the show is released. Riot Games has been talking about how the series came to be for a month.
Riot began releasing a behind the scenes series called Bridging the Rift in August. In the premiere episode, showrunners Alex Yee and Christian Linke explain that the show began with Riot's desire to tell a deeper story for League. Brandon Beck admitted to hoping at the time that it would fail that the idea of doing an animated show for their MOBA was impossible. It was an animation test between Jayce and Vi that won over the co- founders.
Fortiche created music videos for Jinx and Ekko, both of whom appear in Arcane, and they did the test animation for the film. Fortiche didn't do a TV series before and only had a few employees. The staff admitted that they were incredibly determined to make the show a reality. Whether or not we could unleash the potential of Fortiche was something that he always thought about.
In the second episode of the show, we learned that the show was put on pause because test screenings from Riot employees were so negative. Linke and Yee tried to keep as many employees as possible despite Fortiche laying off staff. The creation of the League songs " Rise" and " Pop/Stars" was the result of that. After that, Yee and Linke found a mentor in the form of Lost's Monica Maser and a strong production head in Melinda Dilger. It didn't hurt to get several TV writers, in particularAmanda Overton.
She is only credited with one episode for the first season, but her contribution to the show also includes Jinx's monologue at the end of the season. The show was going to start on Silco's monologue from episode three as he's getting drowned, but was changed to focus on a young vi and powder as they're taken in by Vander. She said that the story of the series was that the two sisters were torn apart by their father. The cold open to the whole beginning of the season is something I am proud of.
Future videos go into the process of creating the show's music and its voice cast, with the final episode dedicated to getting the world's reaction to it. After the crew basks in the admiration of their launch party, Beck briefly touched on Riot's plan to do similar shows with different characters once the story of Jinx, Vi, and Cait ends. Beck teased, "We can spend five hours in just Piltover and Zaun, and then do it again in a second season before we start to zoom out of this one small corner of the world."
What will happen in the second season of Arcane? The crew is going to be better than before. She said that no matter how little you know about the second season, there will always be new things to discover. People are going to be excited about what they discover.
