Netflix has unveiled the release date, teaser trailer and new images for Cursed, the upcoming Arthurian legend series based on the illustrated novel by Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller.
Cursed is set to premiere on July 17, and promises a new take on the legend of King Arthur, with a story that is told through the eyes of Nimue, a young woman who is destined to become the Lady of the Lake.
The teaser trailer for the adult fantasy series features Katherine Langford as Nimue, the sword-swinging hero at the centre of the old-time tale. She is joined by Devon Terrell as Arthur, and Vikings’ Gustaf Skarsgard as Merlin, among many other familiar Arthurian characters.

“They came while we slept to cleanse the world of our kind because we’re different; because magic runs through us; because we have what they want,” the trailer narration explains. “The legend says this sword belongs to the one true king, but what if the sword chooses a queen?”
Netflix describes Cursed as 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.”
The latest images depict some of the other cast members starring in the series, which includes Daniel Sharman as the Weeping Monk, Sebastian Armesto as King Uther Pendragon, Matt Stokoe as Gawain, Lily Newmark as Pym, Shalom Brune-Franklin as Igraine, Emily Coates as Sister Iris, Billy Jenkins as Squirrel, Bella Dayne as Red Spear, and Peter Mullan as Father Carden.
Netflix’s series adaptation of Frank Miller’s Cursed will make its official debut on July 17, with 10 hour-long episodes in the first season. For more on the Arthurian legend series, cast an eye over these first-look images from the forthcoming season.
