In Arthurian legend, the character is an enchantress who hands King Arthur his mythical sword Excalibur and raises Sir Lancelot after the death of his father.

Like "13 Reasons Why", the 10-episode series will air on Netflix, but no release date has been announced.

Wheeler and Miller's "Cursed" book will be published in late 2019, according to Deadline.
