Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.

But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen?

Cursed is a bold retelling of the Arthurian legend, created by legendary artist Frank Miller and acclaimed screenwriter Tom Wheeler.

A DARK MAGIC
A POWERFUL WARRIOR
A LEGENDARY QUEEN

Touched by darkness, Nimue is an outcast to her people, forced to repress her magic. But when her village is slaughtered, the darkness begins to resurface.

Tasked by her dying mother to reunite the Sword of Power with the sorcerer Merlin, she must save a terrorised Kingdom. Nimue's mission leaves no room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else. Hers was not the only decimated village and others face a similar fate.

With the help of the rogue mercenary Arthur, Nimue must battle the armies of a corrupt king and, be it in victory or on the edge of a blade, discover the truth about her destiny once and for all.

An original Netflix series starring Thirteen Reasons Why star Katherine Langford is set for release in 2020.
