Netflix has just canceled a new fantasy show from the producers of German-language series Dark – before it even aired an episode.
As per Deadline, The Grimm Reality has been canned at the streamer, despite filming being completed and production beginning as early as 2022.
No plot details were given, but it was initially described by What’s on Netflix as a "fairy tale urban fantasy thriller" so it would, presumably, have drawn heavy inspiration from 18th and 19th Century folklore writers the Brothers Grimm.
Mind-melting Netflix drama Dark was one of Netflix’s earliest foreign successes, paving the way for the likes of Squid Game and Lupin. Across three seasons, its trademark mix of time travel, conspiracies, and domestic drama proved a hit – with it currently sitting at 95% on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Vikings: Valhalla season 3 – which brings Leif, Freydis, and Harald’s Scandinavian journey to a close – premieres on July 11.
