The Second Season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Has Arrived!
/aug11/mkls.jpg
It was in 2011 that Kevin Tancharoen introduced us to his visionary take on the Mortal Kombat universe, launching a web series called Mortal Kombat: Legacy that I personally consider to be one of the best things to ever happen to fans of the video game.
As we sit back and patiently wait for the Mortal Kombat feature film Tancharoen will be directing, a gig he got as a result of the highly impressive web series, the second season of the series has just hit the net. All of the episodes are available right now, for you to watch at your own leisure.

From the Press Release
The wait is officially over. All TEN episodes of the second season of “Mortal Kombat: Legacy II” are now available for binge-viewing exclusively on Machinima, the number one video entertainment network for young males around the world. “Mortal Kombat: Legacy II,” produced by Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, is the hit live action web series based on the legendary Mortal Kombat video game franchise, co-created by Ed Boon, developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Mortal Kombat: Legacy II” is directed by Kevin Tancharoen (“Mortal Kombat: Legacy”) and co-written by Josh Baizer and Marshall Johnson (“Dead Loss”).
In addition, Machinima will be hosting a livestream tomorrow, September 27, to celebrate the release of “Mortal Kombat: Legacy II.” The stream will feature an exclusive social Q&A with Ed Boon and the cast of the series, using the hashtag #MKLive. The stream begins at 2pm PDT and will be available at MachinimaLive.com.
In the highly anticipated second season, the saga continues as Liu Kang and Ermac join the ranks of fighters introduced in the series’ first season, including Kenshi, Kung Lao, Kuai Liang, Stryker, Kitana, Mileena, Johnny Cage, Scorpion and Sub- Zero. This new season uncovers the rivalries and histories of these fierce warriors as Raiden and his recruits clash against the dark forces of Outworld. Chronicling the tournament and the interweaving storylines of the most beloved Kombatants, fans will also learn of the complex relationship between Liu Kang and Kung Lao and revisit the complicated family dynamic of Kitana and Mileena. The epic battle for EarthRealm has finally begun!
