The medieval fantasy series Damned – The Legend of the Lake was canceled by Netflix without a second season, and according to Screen Rant, the reason may be related to its disappointing reception.
Although its premise was interesting, according to the website, Damned – A Lenda do Lago was probably canceled because it did not live up to expectations and did not attract a substantial audience compared to his other projects.

Rotten Tomatoes gave the series a rating of 67% based on reviews from critics and 53% for an audience rating, indicating mixed reviews.
Also, due to the pandemic, Netflix has canceled a series of series that had already been renewed because it could not put the series into production, and there was a flurry of new shows and movies to produce.
It’s less about whether Damned – Legend of the Lake was popular and how popular it was in comparison to other shows, especially those with franchise potential.
In addition, fantasy series – with sets, costumes, CGI and more – can potentially be more expensive.
