Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why) leads the cast as Nimue, a teenager with special powers who is destined to become the fabled Lady of the Lake.

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the first season of Netflix’s “Cursed.”)For “Cursed” fans who want to dig deeper into the medieval origins of the fantasy series, Netflix shared a video primer on Saturday featuring the cast breaking down the lengthy history of the characters they play on the show.The series, based on Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler’s novel of the same name, provides an origin story for Nimue, a.k.a. the Lady of the Lake, (played by “13 Reasons Why” star Katherine Langford) and King Arthur (Devon Terrell).

feminist fantasy series we need right now.So pop your feet up, open some wine, and settle in for a cosy weekend at home.Here’s what’s new this weekend:The aforementioned Cursed is a re-imagination of the King Arthur tale told through the eyes of a gifted young girl Nimue.Nimue is destined to become the all-powerful but tragic Lady of the Lake from the legend and the series strips away some of the mystery of her background. When her mother dies, she finds an ally in a young mercenary called Arthur and they go on a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword but must defeat the cruel Red Paladins.This one is already soaring in the Irish charts.

Katherine Langford is opening up about what’s ahead for Nimue and the characters of Cursed, following the series debut on Netflix today.

's first season begins with Katherine Langford's one-day Lady of the Lake, Nimue, being sent on a quest to deliver a certain mythical sword to a certain medieval wizard. By the end of the season finale, she's fully embraced her Fey magic to become a queen and wielder of the Sword of Power.But after surviving being hunted by the Red Paladin — in the end, Nimue bloodily beheads their leader and saves her people -- it's young Sister Iris (Emily Coates) who delivers a seemingly fatal blow, striking Nimue down as she, Merlin (Gustaf Skarsgård), and Morgana attempt to flee to safety.Nimue, two arrows embedded in her, tumbles over the edge of a bridge into the waters below, as Merlin picks up her sword and, eyes aglow, unleashes his powers.

It only took 10 minutes for Katherine Langford's character to say, "I don't want it. I don't want to be your summoner," in a line that feels completely ripped from the Jon Snow playbook.

Katherine Langford hadn't planned to return to TV so soon after. She certainly wasn't expecting to find herself months into a nearly yearlong shoot in the U.K., filming an epic battle scene on the hottest day of the year.«It was, I think, 101 or 105 [degrees], and we were under lights,» Langford tells ET's Lauren Zima.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticIn “Cursed,” a new Netflix series that restages the Arthurian legend with a contemporary sensibility, Katherine Langford plays Nimue, a young woman whose sense of righteousness is inflected by, and inflamed with, a destiny to lead her people through a time of upheaval. At one point, a rival of sorts refers to her by the title “the Wolf Blood Witch, dreaded wielder of the Devil’s Tooth”; heard a certain way, it’s reminiscent of the many titles held by Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) on “Game of Thrones.”“Cursed” has less on its mind than its predecessor in the sword-and-sorcery space, and its visual effects are notably less convincing.

Katherine Langford is making sure her voice is heard.

Netflix show “Cursed” reimagines the origin story for King Arthur, Merlin and Lancelot — literary characters who have become pop culture staples in countless movies and shows.
