Rewrites aren't uncommon in the television world, especially when it comes to a show with as many moving parts as Arcane, but one of the series' lead writers says they've been sitting on some of the show's final scenes, mostly unchanged, for six whole years.
In an interview with Gamesradar+, Arcane writer and producer Amanda Overton explains that the production team behind the Netflix animated series "are really big fans of efficient storytelling" and "only like to say or show things once, we really like to show things rather than say them if we can." That laser focus also meant that the Arcane team knew roughly where it was headed years ago.
