and Katie Leung (Caitlyn) are already set to

reprise their roles.

There's no mystery behind the decision: the

show is a success. Co-creators Christian Linke
and Alex Yee said they were "beyond happy"
with the reaction. The numbers also back
them up — the first season of Arcane racked
up nearly 34.2 million viewing hours in its
first week on Netflix's new top 10 chart,
making it the second-most popular TV series
in any language behind Narcos: Mexico
(almost 50.3 million).

The popularity isn't a shock. Both Netflix and

League creator Riot Games heavily promoted
the show, to the point where LoL included

multiple crossovers. You knew Arcane was
available if you were even vaguely interested
in the game that inspired it. And yes, it helps
that Arcane happens to be well-received by
many accounts.

The renewal doesn't necessarily hint at a new

wave of game-inspired Netflix shows. It does,
however, suggest that relatively high-budget
game productions have a healthy future at
the streaming pioneer. Don't be surprised if
Netflix takes more chances on projects like
this.
