Netflix has officially released fourteen first-look photos from their upcoming fantasy drama Cursed, which is an adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler.

The series is a reimagining of the classic Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue (Katherine Langford), a teenage heroine with a mysterious gift who is ultimately destined to become the extremely powerful - and undoubtedly tragic - Lady of the Lake. 

Her story will pick up shortly after her mother's death, following her as she befriends a young mercenary named Arthur (Devon Terrell), taking him on a quest to find the wizard Merlin (Gustaf Skarsgård) and deliver an all-powerful ancient sword. Her journey will take her through lands unknown and turn her from a young woman to a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther.

While a premiere date has not-yet-been announced, Netflix says the series will premiere Summer 2020, so expect more news within the next few weeks.

Outside of Marvel What-Ifs, "What if.." should never be the tagline of a show or movie. Even if it is an original idea, it comes off as derivative and I struggle to take it seriously.

That said, I always dig Arthurian lore, especially the more fantastic and supernatural elements. I may want to check this out!

@TheRose - but then why does what if get a pass? Its the same premise of a what if scenario of an already known story.

@TheRose - Did you just give Marvel exclusive rights to the as-old-as-language-itself concept "what if?"
