Below, I've rounded up everything you request to cognize astir nan 9 individuals who are confirmed to look successful Arcane's 2nd season. That includes nan actors who'll sound them, a spot connected each character's background, and wherever we find them heading into play 2.
Be warned: Major spoilers are incoming for Arcane play 1, truthful move backmost now if you haven't watched each episode.
Hailee Steinfeld arsenic Vi
One of Arcane's deuteragonists who's celebrated for wielding those elephantine Hextech gauntlets, Vi was 1 of 3 characters confirmed to return erstwhile nan League of Legends (LoL) animated show was renewed for a 2nd play successful precocious 2021.
The older sister of Powder/Jinx, Vi is an "act first, deliberation later" individual who usually lets her fists do nan talking – a hot-headed attack that's landed her successful basking h2o much than erstwhile successful play 1. Based connected Arcane play 2's first trailer, she'll subordinate Caitlyn's (more connected her later) brand-new elite Piltover Enforcers Squad, who'll supposedly beryllium tasked pinch search down Jinx (again, much connected her successful a bit) aft nan latter's seemingly fatal Piltover assembly enclosure attack. However, fixed nan caller footage connected show successful Arcane play 2's charismatic trailer, and a Vi-starring clip revealed alongside play 2's merchandise date successful precocious September, Vi and Caitlyn's narration will break down astatine immoderate constituent adjacent season.
As successful play 1, Vi will beryllium voiced by Hailee Steinfeld. An progressively celebrated actor, Steinfeld has besides voiced Gwen Stacey/Spider-Gwen successful Spider-Man: Into nan Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across nan Spider-Verse. Readers whitethorn besides cognize her from Dickinson connected Apple TV Plus, Hawkeye connected Disney Plus, and Transformers spin-off movie Bumblebee.
Ella Purnell arsenic Jinx
Arcane's different main character, Jinx is Vi's younger related who, owed to galore traumatic events she suffered arsenic a child, is plagued by regular psychotic episodes. These origin Jinx to make impulsive, reckless, and astatine times fatal decisions, specified arsenic her inadvertent murdering of surrogate begetter Silco successful play 1 section 8.
Her onslaught connected Piltover's assembly enclosure successful nan last moments of past season's finale intends she's nan City of Progress' nationalist force number 1 arsenic we caput into play 2. Based connected a suspense-filled, Jinx-starring play 2 clip, Zaun's Chem Barons will beryllium gunning for her excessively owed to her affiliation to Silco, who nan crime lords mislaid patience pinch earlier past play ended.
Jinx will beryllium voiced erstwhile much by Ella Purnell, who's champion known for playing Lucy MacLean successful Amazon's TV adjustment of Bethesda's iconic video crippled franchise Fallout, aka 1 of nan best Prime Video shows. She's besides featured successful Yellowjackets connected Paramount Plus, and tin presently beryllium seen starring successful acheronian comedy-thriller show Sweetpea connected Sky and Now TV successful nan UK.
Katie Leung arsenic Caitlyn
The 3rd and last characteristic confirmed to return arsenic portion of Arcane's play 2 renewal announcement successful November 2021, Caitlyn will beryllium connected a revenge-fuelled ngo to apprehension Jinx if, arsenic I've antecedently predicted, Caitlyn's mom Cassandra – 1 of Piltover's councillors – is confirmed to person perished successful Jinx's assembly enclosure attack.
Doing truthful will beryllium a analyzable endeavor, though – not slightest because Caitlyn's quest for vengeance will apt put her astatine likelihood pinch Vi. Fans person bought into their "will they, won't they" move ever since they crossed paths successful play 1 section 4, and desperately want 'CaitVi' to get a happy ending earlier play 2's last credits roll. Indeed, it's 1 of eight large questions we each want earlier Arcane's 2nd play ends. Whether they will, however, depends connected really this season's communicative plays out.
Katie Leung, who immoderate readers mightiness besides admit arsenic Cho Chang from nan live-action Harry Potter movies, returns to represent Caitlyn. She's besides group to play Lady Araminta Gun successful Bridgerton play 4, which will surely catapult Leung into nan limelight aft years of underrated performances successful different shows, specified arsenic The Wheel of Time and Nightsleeper.
Reed Shannon arsenic Ekko
"Oh, look who it is. The Boy savior!", Jinx cried earlier her creatively epic duel pinch erstwhile champion friend Ekko successful play 1 section 7. One of Arcane's astir underappreciated characters didn't get excessively overmuch surface clip past clip astir but, fixed his prominence successful play 2's various teasers and this Batman-inspired stealth ngo clip, it seems Ekko is going to person a overmuch bigger domiciled to play successful Arcane's sophomore outing.
Indeed, not only is his confederation pinch Heimerdinger going to carnivore consequence for nan undercity of Zaun (I hope, anyway), but nan creation of Ekko's Zero Drive – a time-warping instrumentality that'll surely beryllium of immense value successful play 2, arsenic it is for gamers who play arsenic Ekko successful LoL – will cement him arsenic 1 of this season's indispensable individuals.
Like nan trio earlier him, Reed Shannon re-entered nan sound signaling booth to play Ekko. A talented performer whose arsenic adept arsenic a comedian and musician, Shannon's different astir notable acting domiciled came successful The Wilds, a Prime Video endurance play bid that ran for 2 seasons earlier it was unceremoniously cancelled.
Mick Wingert arsenic Heimerdinger
A renowned albeit eccentric inventor who helped Piltover to flourish, nan Yordle known arsenic Heimerdinger nary longer resides successful nan City of Progress aft he was voted disconnected Piltover's assembly successful play 1 section 6. Instead, nan long-lived individual finds himself moving successful conjunction pinch Ekko to amended nan lives of Zaunites. Season 2's galore teasers corroborate that he'll beryllium putting his centuries-old assemblage connected nan statement to do so, too, pinch 1 blink-and-you'll-miss-it infinitesimal successful nan charismatic trailer showing Heimerdinger getting a spot excessively adjacent for comfortableness pinch a highly volatile object.
Tenacious and talented sound character Mick Wingert, whose extended backmost catalog is filled pinch roles successful various video games, Marvel projects, and different animated and live-action films and shows, returns to represent Heimerdinger.
Amirah Vann arsenic Sevika
With her serving arsenic Silco's second-in-command (I'm not counting Jinx) earlier his death, immoderate viewers whitethorn person expected Sevika to beryllium suffering from an personality situation arsenic play 2 begins. Indeed, Silco's demise intends his criminal empire has mislaid its leader, truthful Zaun won't conscionable person to woody pinch nan afloat weight of Piltover's rule enforcers crashing down connected it, but besides an soul turf warfare arsenic various factions conflict for power of nan undercity.
However, contempt her clear dislike for Jinx, it seems – based connected nan aforementioned Jinx-starring clip and play 2's trailers – that Sevika will thief Silco's adoptive girl to merge Zaun and lead a gyration against its elitist contemporary. Of course, nan footage spliced together for these videos could beryllium misdirects but, if not Jinx, who other would Sevika lend her services to?
Regardless, Amirah Vann is connected manus again to lend her vocal talents to Silco's erstwhile lieutenant. Best known for her activity successful How to Get Away With Murder connected US cablegram web ABC, Vann has besides starred successful Apple's The Changeling series, The Fugitive connected defunct streaming level Quibi, and 1 of 2024's new Netflix movies successful Shirley.
Ellen Thomas arsenic Ambessa
A Noxian warlord who has eyes connected acquiring Hextech for her brutal, expanionist empire nation, Ambessa – for illustration Ekko – is being primed for a overmuch much expansive domiciled successful Arcane play 2.
With her girl and Piltover counciller Mel caught successful nan crossfire of Jinx's assembly enclosure attack, nan war-hungry Ambessa will apt subordinate Caitlyn successful starring nan complaint to find Jinx. Of course, owed to her country's imperialistic ambitions, she'll beryllium looking to bring Piltover nether Noxus' blood-red banner, too, which is evident successful nan footage we've seen anterior successful adjacent season's arrival. That said, arsenic is nan lawsuit pinch Jinx, I don't deliberation she'll beryllium nan arch-villain of nan portion – and Arcane fans already person a magical mentation astir who nan critically acclaimed show's Big Bad will be.
Ellen Thomas, who voiced LoL's newest champion successful play 1's last 2 episodes, is backmost arsenic Ambessa successful nan sequel season. UK viewers mightiness admit her from British soaps including EastEnders, but Thomas has played roles successful a assortment of different big-name shows, including Doctor Who.
Brett Tucker arsenic Singed
The antagonistic but incredibly intelligent chemist who created Shimmer, nan addictive constituent that flooded Zaun's streets nether Silco's leadership, Singed's effect connected this area of Runeterra – nan world LoL and Arcane are group successful – cannot beryllium understated.
Outside of him creating a new, terrifying threat that Zaun and Piltover will person to woody pinch – a gorgeous Arcane play 2 poster hints that a heroic, fan-favorite characteristic will return arsenic Singed's latest monstrous creation – it's unclear what domiciled Singed will play this time. It'll beryllium absorbing to spot if we study much astir his backmost story, too, successful ray of nan revelation that he had a girl who died earlier nan events of Arcane. Just arsenic he did past season, Brett Tucker (Station 19, Neighbours) will sound Singed.
Lenny Citrano arsenic Smeech
The only confirmed 'newcomer' – he made a very brief, non-speaking domiciled successful play 1 section 8, hence nan quotation marks – to this season's formed truthful far, Smeech is simply a Yordle Chem Baron who leads nan criminal pack known arsenic nan Scrap Hackers.
As pinch Singed, I don't cognize really integral he'll beryllium to this season's plot. We cognize he'll find Jinx earlier nan remainder of Piltover and Zaun does, though, arsenic he and his goons are seen doing truthful successful nan antecedently mentioned Jinx-starring play 2 clip. Nonetheless, according to Netflix's property image database, Lenny Citrano (Dutch, iCarly) will play Smeech passim nan show's last installment.
