Riot Games’ first foray into the television sphere wasn’t just a crowd-pleasing success — it’s proven to be a critical one as well. With the announcement of this year’s Emmy candidates, Arcane picked up two nominations ahead of a potential win.
The League of Legends-based series, produced in partnership with Netflix, is nominated for Outstanding Animated Program and Outstanding Sound Editing For a Comedy or Drama Series and Animation.
The action-adventure show was released in November 2021 and takes place in Riot Games’ Runeterra universe. It was a smash hit at the time, breaking into multiple top 10 ranking charts for Netflix, and prompted both Netflix and Riot to work on a second season.
Tremendously humbled to be amongst the nominated for @RiotGames’ first #Emmys, including Outstanding Animated Program for Arcane.⁰⁰
Thank you to the @TelevisionAcad for this honor. ✨ pic.twitter.com/qLdZFyj6Ar
