Superhero shows are all the rage so when Jupiter's Legacy was announced, comic fans were hyped. Well, it came out to negative reviews with many praising the costumes and the acting while criticizing the story's live action adaptation. In a report from Deadline, it looks like the show is now cancelled after one season.
This report states that Netflix didn't outright cancel the show but just let go of the cast and their contracts. This must be their way of trying to bury the show. Or are they?
Deadline also states that a Millarverse is in the works and a anime Supercrooks show has been ordered. When asked about the cancellation, Millar said this:
“I’m really proud of what the team achieved with Jupiter’s Legacy and the amazing work everyone did on that origin season,” Millar said on Twitter. “I’ve been asked a lot about what we’re planning next with this world and the answer is to see what the super-villains are getting up to. I’ve always loved crime stories from Scorsese to Tarantino and super-villains are always the most fun part of any superhero story. To do something exclusively focused on the villains they fight just feels incredibly fresh as we explore what it’s like to be a bad guy in a world crawling with good guys who want to put you in jail. Jupiter’s Legacy is a vast and rich space with lots of characters to mine and so I’m happy to share that our next step here is a live-action version of the Supercrooks comic I created with Leinil Francis Yu a few years back. Given where we’re going next, we’ve made the tough call of letting our incredible cast out of their show commitment as we continue to thoughtfully develop all realms of the Jupiter’s Legacy saga. We’re confident we’ll return to it later and just want to say thanks to you guys for your continued support and to the cast and crew who made this look so great.”
Jupiter's Legacy is now available to stream on Netflix
