CaitVi is clearly a very popular ship on Arcane heading into its second season, and its co-creator said the team knew the pair were “walking into this shitstorm.”
There are spoilers for the end of Season 1 and the first three episodes of Season 2.
The first season of Arcana had a lot of drama to watch, but clearly, as it developed such a passionate fan base, shipping also became a part of its lasting success – that’s just the nature of life! Unsurprisingly, protagonist Vi and rich girl Caitlyn are the season’s No. 1 Battleship, and in a recent interview with GamesRadar, co-creator Christian Linke talked about how getting their relationship right was “terrible.” “. “We knew at the end of season one, especially the cliffhanger, it wasn’t going to be ‘and then they were happy,'” he explained.

“We knew they were getting caught up in this shitstorm. When we started making Season 2, the question we were faced with was exactly the question viewers were going to have: ‘Can their relationship survive this?’ Both characters have lost loved ones as they enter season two, Caitlin has lost her mother and Vi has lost her sister, so as they venture into things, there’s really a question of, “What’s going to happen to them?” “Are they going to change to the point where they are no longer the same person that the other person recognizes? I think there’s going to be a lot of drama and conflict ahead, which would be scary for the relationship.”
Keep in mind, it’s unclear how this relationship will unfold, as only the first three episodes have been released so far. The next few installments will be released next week (November 16th) and the week after that on November 23rd, so there’s likely to be a lot going on with this pairing. Fingers crossed for CaitVi shippers that things don’t go too badly.
