You're not alone in thinking about watching "Cursed Season 2" on Netflix The fantasy drama series appears to be a hit on the streaming service, hitting #1 on Netflix's Top 10 list in its opening weekend

And given that the Season 1 finale ended with a big cliffhanger, it would be cruel for Netflix not to offer fans "The Damned Season 2"

"Cursed" is a retelling of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue (Katherine Langford), a young heroine 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 unlikely partner, the young mercenary Arthur (Devon Terrell), to help her track down the sorcerer Merlin (Gustav Skarsgard) and deliver the ancient sword Excalibur Season 1 follows Nimue as she becomes a symbol of courage and defiance against the fearsome religious sect known as the Red Paladins and their complicity with King Uther

Another season of "Cursed" could unearth more stories from the Arthurian legend What we know about "Cursed" Season 2 is as follows

At this time, Netflix has not officially ordered "Cursed" Season 2 However, the show consistently ranked #1 on Netflix's US Top 10 list during its first weekend of release This is indicative of its popularity with viewers, and a second season is very likely

So if Netflix allows the distribution of "Cursed" Season 2, when can we expect it? Film and television production is just beginning to resume after being interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic Season 1 was filmed in England, and the country has allowed production to resume This means that "Cursed Season 2" could begin filming as early as this fall And if things go according to the schedule of Season 1, the film could be released as early as the summer of 2021

The biggest question for "The Damned" Season 2 is the return of Katherine Langford as Nimue The Season 1 finale ended with a cliffhanger that left viewers pondering Nimue's fate

More on that later For now, however, we assume that Langford will return as a powerful werewolf-blood witch

Other key cast members include:

Season 1 cast members who will probably not return because their characters are dead (unless they appear in flashbacks or visions) include Peter Mullan as Father Carden, Green Knight/Gawain Matt Stokoe, and Katherine Walker as Lenore, Nimue's mother

In addition, a new cast member for Season 2 of "The Damned" may play a character from Arthurian legend who has not yet appeared in the show's world

Is Nimue dead? This is the big question that "The Damned Season 2" will have to tackle from the very beginning

First, let's look back at the Season 1 finale Nimue, with the help of Morgana, once again wields Excalibur to defeat the evil Father Carden; the two women flee the Red Paladin across the stone bridge, but Sister Iris is waiting for Nimue She shoots Nimue, and Nimue falls into the river

Merlin, enraged by his daughter's death (it appears), strikes the Red Paladins with lightning Then, using the magic of Excalibur, Merlin escapes with Morgana

Elsewhere, the Weeping Monk betrays the Red Paladins and saves Lis (Billy Jenkins), whose real name is Percival And the Weeping Monk's real name Lancelot

Arthur and the Fae are saved by the Red Spear (Bella Dane) who calls herself Guinevere - and we all know the romantic legend of Arthur and Guinevere It seems that trouble awaits Arthur and Nimue But is Nimue alive?

All signs point to "yes" The first season opened with a shot of a bloodied and injured Nimue struggling in the water, and the finale showed how that came to pass But she is still moving And she has magic She will find a way to save herself, but she has been separated from Arthur, Merlin, and her other friends

"Cursed Season 2" may follow the mold of other fantasy dramas in which the main "gang" is split into parts Each group goes off on their own adventures and eventually they all reunite for the big battle
