Let’s Take A Look At “Arcane: League Of Legends” — The Series That Dethroned “Squid Game” From Netflix’s #1 Spot

Netflix‘s Squid Game has been reigning supreme at the number 1 spot on the streaming platform ever since its premiere. The series was released back on September 17, which means that the K-Drama has been sitting in the first place spot for a whopping 47 days.

And as the hype of the dystopian thriller series inevitably dies down over time, the public began to wonder what show would eventually take Squid Game‘s highly coveted number 1 spot on Netflix’s “top series” list—and it looks like we have a winner.

Meet animated series, Arcane: League of Legends. The television show is based on the video game League of Legends and it is set in the game’s universe. It premiered on November 6 and has quickly gone on to see immense popularity. The series was created to celebrate the video game’s 10th anniversary and what better way to celebrate the anniversary than with such grand success?

Featuring a stellar cast of Pitch Perfect 3‘s Hailee Steinfeld, Kick-Ass 2‘s Ella Purnell, Harry Potter‘s Katie Leung and more, the animated series garnered hot attention as soon as it was released.

Now you may be asking, exactly how hot of attention did the series receive? Arcane: League of Legends received such viral attention, that it climbed up Netflix’s “Top TV Shows” chart to claim the number 1 spot almost as soon as it premiered.

Set in a utopian world, the show dives into the dichotomy between the rich and the oppressed. The series will follow the story of two legendary League champions, but a looming power threatens to tear the two of them apart. And just like the very video game Arcane is based on, it has a rating of 14+ for its adult subject content.

Congratulations to Arcane: League of Legends and all of its cast and produciton team! You can watch new episodes of Arcane: League of Legends on Netflix every week but in the meantime, be sure to check out the trailer down below.
