News culture 200 million dollars in the trash… Netflix cancels this series a month after its release
Some Netflix picks are amazing, and this $200 million series that was canceled after a month is one of them.
Jupiter’s Legacy, Netflix’s Biggest Failure
Netflix is a platform that constantly offers new content. Just look at recent releases to realize that. It is for this reason that we can understand why certain productions are quickly canceled. Nevertheless, the Jupiter’s Legacy case remains an enigma.
Just after the end of its partnership with Marvel TV, which made it possible to develop acclaimed series such as Daredevil or The Punisher, the Netflix platform continued to produce superhero series. to compete with other SVOD platforms, and more notably The Boys, the success of Amazon Prime Video. The red N service therefore launched The Umbrella Academy, which was a great success, but also Jupiter’s League. Unfortunately, the series with the enticing synopsis was satisfied with a single and unique season.
Jupiter’s Legacy is a multi-generational superhero epic that follows the world’s first generation of superheroes to be given their powers in the 1930s. Today, they are revered protectors for their heroism, while their superpowered children struggle to live up to the legendary exploits of their parents. Synopsis of Jupiter’s Legacy via AlloCiné
Why doesn’t Jupiter’s Legacy have a Season 2?
Netflix has done everything possible to adapt this comic book originally written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Frank Quitely as well as possible. In effect, although the original budget was $130 million, Jupiter’s League cost nearly $200 million, just that. To give you an idea, this is the development cost of Wonder Woman 1984, the Warner Bros.
However, despite all the money injected into this project, Jupiter’s League did not manage to last over time, the fault of a reception from critics that was murderous to say the least. Indeed, this series featuring Josh Duhamel (Batman: The Long Halloween), Leslie Bibb (The Babysitter: Killer Queen), Andrew Horton (It Came From the Desert) or Elena Kampouris (The Last Day of My Life), only received 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is very low.
It was surely because of this alarming reception, and the fact that the budget was quickly exceeded, that Netflix decided to stop the massacre after only one season. And you, have you seen Jupiter’s Legacy?
