Entire First Season of Grendel is Already Filmed
Earlier in the week came the disappointing news that Netflix was "not going forward" with the proposed TV series based on Matt Wagner's comic Grendel.
Now, a follow-up report on social media reveals that the project wasn't simply in development, but in fact the entire first season had been filmed.
Actor Andy Mientus, who is cast in the series, provided an update on Instagram. In his post he laments his personal disappointment at the news, but also adds, " I and hundreds of talented, tireless, wonderful people shot not just a pilot, not just a few episodes, but an entire season that now might go unseen."
This makes the streamer's sudden withdrawal from the project a bit more puzzling. Did Netflix see a quality issue with the season? Or did they not want to spend the money finishing the project?
The flipside of the revelation is, it seems much more likely the producers will be able to place it at a new outlet.
