Netflix Not Moving Forward With Additional Seasons Of “The Idhun Chronicles”
The second part of The Idhun Chronicles has barely been our for a couple of weeks now, but creator Laura Gallego has already noted that Netflix has decided not to move forward with adapting any additional chapters of the book series for more animated seasons.
For those that don’t know anything about the franchise, the synopsis reads as follows:
After necromancer Ashran seizes power in Idhún, enforcing his reign of terror through an army of flying snakes, the first battle for the land’s freedom will take place on the Earth, where impulsive teenager Jack and aspiring wizard Victoria will face dangerous assassin Kirtash, sent by Ashran to Earth to destroy the Idhunites who fled his tyranny
Our Take
The Zeppelin TV produced series was made in Spain and therein lies a problem that I think Netflix is going to have until they get their act together in properly organizing their already chuggy user interface. For starters, the series was advertised quite a bit as an anime series, despite the fact that the show was made not in Japan. Maybe “anime-style” is more applicable, but The Idhun Chronicles is not anime. Had the producers pitched this more as a Spanish-produced series, they would’ve had a bigger base of viewers.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
