Arcane showrunner explains why the Netflix show had to end with Season 2, saying it would have been ‘irresponsible’ to continue

Arcane is one of the best Netflix series out there, but it’s coming to an end with Season 2. Of course, you might be wondering why it’s ending so soon – but as showrunner and co-creator Christian Linke explained, the point of not outlasting the show is welcome.

“We always had a specific story in mind,” he told CinemaBlend. “You see, it could certainly have been expanded a bit. But for us, it was always like we started with that thought. I think there is also a personal aspect as a creative. We’ve all seen TV shows where the writers are obviously running out of juice, how long has it been for us, there’s also an aspect of responsibility with these characters. I think that’s what we had in mind.”
