Over the past decade, Daniel Sharman has been part of teen shows on MTV and The CW, which has allowed the actor to garner a large young fan following. Most of his fans grew up watching him on TV and over the years have formed a strong connection with Daniel. Well, even after leaving his twenties, Daniel is a massive draw among younger fans, something his new show Medici: The Magnificent benefited massively, and something Netflix series Cursed will be hoping for.
Daniel Sharman Plays Weeping Monk in the Netflix Series Cursed
Cursed is the modern retelling of the Arthurian legend. Instead of Arthur, the sword chooses a woman, and the task of fighting tyranny will be on her shoulder. Arthur is not related to the king; he is not a prince, only a mercenary who comes across a young woman with a strong present and tragic future. The show is based on the Arthurian legend characters, but it is based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler.
The new Netflix fantasy series follows Nimue, aka Lady of the Lake, who comes in contact with the sword after she is displaced from her home by the Paladin. She is running, but at one point, she needs to stop and fight, and to her aide comes young Arthur. Nimue becomes a beacon of strength and courage among the scared populace who stand with her in her rebellion against King Uther and the Red Paladins.
