Ever wondered how the legendary tale of Excalibur would play out if it were told from the perspective of a female? Netflix’s upcoming series Cursed has all the answers for you.
Based on Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler’s illustrated novel, Cursed takes on the challenge of retelling the Arthurian Legend by asking: “What if the sword chose a queen?”

As her quest progresses, Nimue initiates the stirrings of a rebellion against the Red Paladins and their leader, King Uther.
