What Arcane’s Follow-Ups Mean For League Of Legends’ TV Universe
There Are Plenty Of Ways The Story Can Expand
Given Linke had confirmed somecharacters inArcanewould be coming back in future shows,it seems likely Noxus will be the next region to be explored. Not only is Mel (Toks Olagundoye) originally from there alongside Ambessa (Ellen Thomas), but a three-eyed raven was seen in the show’s final minutes, signaling the arrival of the region’s ruler, Jericho Swain. He also plays a key role in a conflict with Ionia, meaning the two locations' history could be connected in their shows, much like Piltover and Zaun.

Linke Knows Where The Expanded Universe Is Going
Linke’s statement is good news forLeague of Legends' TV universe, as there appears to be a solid plan as to what regions and storylines are going to be explored next. While some characters will return, the confirmation of new locations means it will feel less likeArcaneseason 3, and more like an independent follow-up set in the same world. With plenty of champions to feature and backstories to adapt, the first series is just the beginning for the video game adaptation’s new world.
