Netflix recently announced that their supernatural drama “The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself” has been dropped. It was a show that had a lot of potential, but fans were left disappointed by the network’s decision to end the series.
The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself follows the life of a family in the small town of Leatherwell, where supernatural powers have been granted to the townspeople. In particular, the show’s focus was on the youngest member of the family, a half-human, half-demon son named Bakon. The series was inspired by ancient folklore and the themes of redemption and revenge.
The show was created by Christopher Abbot and David Fisher, who also served as executive producers. It was produced by Jeff Stockwell and was well-received by the audience. Unfortunately, the show only lasted for two seasons, leaving the story open with plenty of potential for future episodes.
The show has a star-studded cast of actors, including Tom Welling, Abigail Spencer, and Dominic Monaghan. Fans of the show were disappointed about the news of the cancellation, as many of them expected it to go beyond two seasons.
The show’s cancellation marks yet another Netflix casualty, as its streaming service is increasingly focusing on new projects. While some believe that this move signals a shift to making original content, others argue that it means fewer chances of quality series being continued or picked-up again.
Fans of the series have already started a petition in order to get Netflix to bring the show back. It remains to be seen if Netflix listens to the demands and revives the series, or if The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself is doomed to be yet another casualty of the streaming giant’s list.
