Netflix’s “Marianne” Will Not Be Returning for a Second Season
Sadly, another great show bites the dust.
One of our favorite new horror projects of 2019 was Netflix‘s “Marianne,” a gripping eight episodes of television led by Victoire Du Bois. Charming, scary and emotional, the French series was the talk of the horror community when it hit the streaming service back in September, earning rave reviews from the likes of Stephen King and our own Meagan Navarro.
Without giving away any spoilers, the first season of “Marianne” ended with a tease of more story left to tell. Unfortunately, creator/writer/director Samuel Bodin brings bad news.
Bodin writes over on Instagram, “There won’t be a second season for MARIANNE. We are very sorry and sad about that. But we will see you in other stories…”
In “Marianne,” Emma, a famous and successful French horror writer, is forced to return to her hometown after the woman who haunted her dreams fifteen years ago begins to re-appear.
The good news? The first season of “Marianne” tells a complete and satisfying story even if Bodin clearly had more in mind for his main character, so don’t be discouraged from checking it out if you haven’t done so yet. All of us here on BD highly recommend this one, and we can’t wait to see what’s next from Bodin. Here’s hoping he’s got more horrors in store for us…
The spirit world collides with ours, unleashing supernatural threats in the official trailer for Netflix’s supernatural series “The East Palace”.
The new series premieres on July 17, 2026.
“The East Palace” hails from director Choi Jung-kyu (The Devil Judge) and writers Kwon So-ra and Seo Jea-won (Son: The Guest). Production companies for the film include Showrunners and Imaginus.
Nam Joo-hyuk, Roh Yoon-seo, and Cho Seung-woo star.
The official synopsis reads: “When the crown prince is found dead in a pond, a chilling rumor paralyzes the palace: the pond spirit has returned to wipe out the King’s bloodline. The King (Cho Seung-woo) fiercely dismisses the killings as mere conspiracy, until his last remaining son, Prince Yeongan, collapses.
“Driven to desperation, the King secretly summons Gu-cheon (Nam Joo-hyuk), who can traverse the Realm of Gwi and defeat them. To ensure his loyalty, the King pairs him with Saeng-gang (Roh Yoon-seo), a court lady born with the ability to hear spirits.
“Gu-cheon embarks on the life-or-death mission to destroy the spirit and lift the curse of the East Palace, or die within its walls. But as Gu-cheon hunts the spirit and Saeng-gang secretly spies on his every move, the two draw closer to the dark truth of the East Palace that lies beneath the pond.“
