Arcane’s Ella Purnell Describes Season 2 Finale as ‘Devastating’

During a recent interview with TechRadar, Arcane star Ella Purnell, who voices the character of Powder/ Jinx, teased what fans can expect from the highly-anticipated second season of the hit Netflix animated series.

It has been over two years since Arcane concluded its 9-episode first season, which ended with Jinx firing a rocket launcher at the Piltover council after she decided to sever ties with her sister. Purnell promised another “devastating” final episode, revealing that the Season 2 finale made her very emotional during her voice recording session.

“I actually just went back into the studio to complete some ADR [automated dialog replacement] for the season 2 finale – and I cried,” Purnell shared. “So, I think other people will cry, too. It’s devastating, and nobody will feel good after watching it.”

Who’s involved in Arcane?

Based on Riot’s The League of Legends game, Arcane is created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee. Season 1 also featured the voices of Hailee Steinfeld as Vi, Kevin Alejandro as Jayce, Jason Spisak as Silco, Toks Olagundoye as Mel, JB Blanc as Vander, and Harry Lloyd as Viktor. It is produced by Riot Games in partnership with animation studio Fortiche Productions. Executive producers are Christian Linke, Marc Merrill, Brandon Beck, Jane Chung, and Thomas Vu.

“Set in the utopian region of Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League champions and the power that will tear them apart,” reads the series’ official synopsis.
