“It’s devastating…”
Ella Purnell is keeping busy these days. After all, she plays one of the main roles in the new Fallout series on Amazon Prime and therefore has to take on a lot of PR activities.
In an interview with TechRadar The actress is asked not only about her time in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, but also about her role in Arcane. In the Netflix series, Purnell voices the character Jinx, who, together with her sister Vi, has to somehow survive in a harsh world.

So it’s quite possible, that Season 2 of Arcane marks the end of Jinx and Vi’s journey – in what form remains to be seen. This assumption receives some support if one considers an earlier statement by Brandon Beck.
The co-founder of the League of Legends studio Riot last year Episode 5 von Bridging the Rifta behind-the-scenes documentary about Arcane, dropped an interesting sentence:
The fact that we spent five hours in Piltover and Zaun [in Staffel 1] and now we’re doing it again in the second season before we start to step out of this little corner of the world and this handful of characters – just that scope of possibilities is incredible.
