Breaking News: Six of Crows Spin-off Series Scrapped at Netflix
Fans of Leigh Bardugo’s beloved fantasy series, Six of Crows, were eagerly awaiting the upcoming spin-off series at Netflix. Unfortunately, the streaming giant has made the shocking decision to scrap the project, leaving fans in dismay.
The Six of Crows duology, consisting of "Six of Crows" and "Crooked Kingdom", has become a cult classic since its release in 2015. The books follow a group of misfit thieves as they embark on a perilous heist in the city of Kerch. The series has gained a massive following worldwide, and fans were excited to see their favorite characters come to life on the small screen.
In January 2020, it was announced that Netflix had acquired the rights to adapt Six of Crows into a live-action series. The show was set to be produced by Netflix’s in-house production company, Netflix Originals, with Bardugo serving as an executive producer. The series was expected to consist of eight episodes and would have followed the characters from the books as they navigated the complex world of Ketterdam.
However, it appears that the project has hit a snag, and Netflix has decided to cancel the series. According to sources, the show was struggling to find its footing, and the streaming giant ultimately decided to cut their losses. It’s unclear at this time what exactly went wrong, but it’s rumored that the show’s tone and pacing issues may have been to blame.
Fans of the series are devastated by the news, taking to social media to express their disappointment and frustration. Many had been eagerly awaiting the adaptation, and the cancellation feels like a loss. "This is devastating news. I was so excited to see the Crows come to life on screen," tweeted one fan. "Netflix, why do you always cancel the best shows?"
Despite the cancellation, Bardugo has expressed gratitude to the fans for their enthusiasm and support. "I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to bring the Crows to life on the page, and I’m grateful to all of you who have loved them so fiercely," she wrote on Twitter. "This isn’t the end of the Crows’ story, though. They’ll live on in our hearts and in the pages of the books."
While the cancellation of the Six of Crows spin-off series is undoubtedly a disappointment, fans of the series can take solace in the fact that the books will continue to live on. The Crows will always be remembered as a beloved and iconic part of the Grishaverse, and their stories will continue to captivate readers for years to come.
For now, fans will have to content themselves with the knowledge that the books will always be there, and that the characters of Kaz, Inej, Nina, Matthias, Jesper, and Wylan will continue to captivate their imaginations.
