Arcane Toppled Squid Game in Under a Week
Barely a week after its first three episodes dropped, Arcane had already knocked Squid Game off the number one spot worldwide, taking the top of the chart in 34 countries at once. For a show based on a video game with no prior TV adaptation, that's a genuinely wild launch.
Fortiche and Riot Went Way Back Before Arcane
Long before Arcane existed, Fortiche and Riot were already working together on League music videos, including 'Get Jinxed' and 'Rise' starting around 2013. That earlier working relationship is a big reason Riot trusted Fortiche with something as ambitious as a full TV series years later.
The 11-10-09 Countdown
The marketing team had a bit of fun with the release date. Every trailer leading up to launch flashed the date as '11-10-09', with the numbers ticking on one by one like a countdown to a detonation. Cute touch for a game about a world going up in flames.
The Jaximus Skin Honours a Make-A-Wish Kid

Slow down in the London pub at the very start of the game and have a look at the background props. There's a newspaper called The Overseer lying around with a headline about scientists struggling to understand a deadly fungus, a tiny throwaway prop most people never bother to actually read.
All That Fire Is a Deliberate Nod to Hell
The recurring flames that seem to follow Tommy Shelby around aren't just moody set dressing. Season two director Colm McCarthy has confirmed it's meant to draw a straight line between Tommy's criminal path and where it's ultimately taking him, spiritually speaking.
Price Got Recast Because of His Age
When the series rebooted in 2019, Barry Sloane took over as Price instead of Billy Murray. Part of the reasoning reportedly came down to Murray being 77 at the time, which made the heavy motion capture work the newer games demand a much tougher ask.
