Netflix cancelled Jupiter’s Legacy season 2. The second adaptation from Millarworld is not happening. But a spin-off might be on its way.

The giant of streaming has acquired Millarworld a couple of years ago. Created by Mark Millar who served as a writer in lots of superhero cartoons and adaptations, Millarworld is a universe filled with people who have superhero powers. For those who are enjoying some action-packed superpower series, this was great news.

Jupiter’s Legacy, on the other hand, was the first fruit of this acquisition. Netflix Original series invited viewers to a world where having superpowers regarded as legacies that require to be honored. Because of the show’s performance and the negative reviews from the audience, Netflix has decided not to renew the series. The streaming service has cancelled the first adaptation from Millarworld after the first season.

Popular streaming service has lots of conditions when it comes to renewing a series. If a TV show manages to reach great viewership counts, it usually gets a chance for another season. But Netflix also takes the reactions of the audience into account.

How dynamic is a series and what is the level of engagement coming from the viewers? Questions like these help Netflix decide whether a TV show should continue or not. Therefore, Jupiter’s Legacy probably could not get the results that would satisfy the streaming giant and the show is now cancelled.

The fact that Jupiter’s Legacy got cancelled does not mean we have to say goodbye to Millarworld. As we mentioned earlier, a spin-off series is in the works. But unlike Jupiter’s Legacy, it will follow a group of super-villains in the same universe as they prepare themselves for the biggest heist in history.

Netflix has not commented on Supercrooks release date. Though, the creator of these series Mark Millar has talked about the upcoming spin-off series. He said that he created Supercrooks with Leinil Francis Yu a few years ago and was excited that they are going to adapt it to a series.

The writer also stated that he was proud of the cast and the crew of Jupiter’s Legacy. The series starred Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb, Ben Daniels, Walter Sampson, Elena Kampouris, Brandon Sampson, Mike Wade and more.

Well, unfortunately, the series will not get another season. We have listed the actors and actresses in the main cast:
