Arcane’s rumored eye-watering budget makes it ‘the most expensive animated series ever’

The second and final season of Neflix’s League of Legends animated series Arcane is already here, and headlines about some behind the scenes drama have come out.

Last week, Variety reported that production costs for the series had ballooned past $250 million, making it the most expensive animated series ever made. According to Variety, this were caused by delays in script deliveries due to the fact that half of them weren’t even finished by the time production on season two was starting, as well as a “labor-intensive approach” to the show’s production. This is also not taking into account the large amounts of money that League developer Riot Games has poured in to promote the series, which is yet another big step in the company’s ambitious leap into entertainment.
