The animated series Arcane can be watched on the streaming platform Netflix. The series is known to be exclusive on the platform and is not available on any other platform. Both season 1 and season 2 of the series are available on Netflix.


The story of Arcane is set in the fictional cities of Piltover and Zaun, both having contrasting natures in living and survival conditions. While Piltover is a city symbolized as the beacon of innovation and wealth, Zaun is an oppressed underdeveloped city filled with crime and poverty.


Amidst these living conditions are sisters Vi and Jinx, who due to a series of tragedies, get separated and land into opposing allegiances. Apart from their dynamic in the series, the story as a whole sets a battleground between the idealistic Jayce and the brilliant Viktor, who are the source of the groundbreaking energy at Hextech, which is the technological advance institute of Piltover, and Silco, a power-hungry maniac who manipulates the volatile Shimmer drug to amass control in Zaun and challenge Piltover's dominance.


While Vi, who grows into a resilient fighter joins the force of Piltover to put a stopper to the growing threats in Zaun and reconnects with her sister, Jinx is believed to have lost her sanity under Silco’s influence and has become a destructive force.
