NEW TAKE ON ARTHUR'S LEGEND- "CURSED" FIRST LOOK PICS

It is really hard to come up with a new take on the Legend Of King Arthur, and his sword Excalibur, but Cursed aims to do just that. Netflix will be offering 10 one hour episodes this summer, based on the original book written by Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller- it looks spectacular.

Here are the details from the press release:

Based on the New York Times bestselling book, Cursed is a re-imagination of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue, a young woman with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful (and tragic) Lady of the Lake. After her mother's death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a humble mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther. Cursed is a coming-of-age story whose themes are familiar to our own time: the obliteration of the natural world, religious terror, senseless war, and finding the courage to lead in the face of the impossible.

My friends over at the Netflix sent along a bunch of creepy looking set pictures, without much explanation, but you can check them out here.

Cursed stars Katherine Langford (Nimue), Devon Terrell (Arthur), Gustaf Skarsgård (Merlin), Daniel Sharman (Weeping Monk), Sebastian Armesto (King Uther Pendragon), Matt Stokoe (Gawain), Lily Newmark (Pym), Shalom Brune-Franklin (Igraine), Emily Coates (Sister Iris), Billy Jenkins (Squirrel), Bella Dayne (Red Spear), Peter Mullan (Father Carden) and is set to appear Summer of 2020.
