Netflix officially announced a radical decision that took everyone by surprise because it came "out of nowhere" and shows us that sometimes the company doesn't really have that much patience. On May 7, Netflix launched the Jupiter's Legacy series on the platform, centered on a group of superheroes fighting to protect the Earth, without extremely well-known actors in the main roles, but with a few who were noticed at Hollywood.
Netflix made the decision not to produce a second season of this series after spending the impressive sum of 200 million dollars to produce the only 8 episodes of Jupiter's Legacy. Netflix will still turn the series into an anthology, and this is because it is preparing another series called Supercrooks, which is part of the same magical world from which Jupiter's Legacy was born, so fans of the series should not be totally disappointed.
Netflix: The Radical Official Decision that Surprised the Whole World
Netflix promoted Jupiter's Legacy as an extremely interesting series that should be watched by everyone, and it was for a short period of time in the top of the most watched creations on the platform. Despite this, people received Jupiter's Legacy with mixed opinions, so Netflix decided that it was not worth investing hundreds of millions of dollars in a second season, preferring to focus on something else that would bring them money.
Netflix surprises with this decision because it chose to keep in production series that were even less successful, only that it was probably about much lower production costs. The reality is that paying 200 million dollars for 8 episodes of a series is a colossal investment that should bring the right results, but in the case of Jupiter's Legacy it seems that the situation was far from the desired one.
Netflix is working on many other very interesting productions, be it movies or series, so it remains to be seen what will be offered in the coming weeks and months.
