Has The Decameron ended after Season 1? Following its recent premiere, the dark comedy series received praise for its outstanding performances, engaging storyline, and lavish costumes. Set in 1348, it tells the stories of a group of nobles who retreat to a countryside luxurious villa in the wake of a pandemic. With all episodes now available on Netflix, fans are eager to learn if The Decameron has been canceled or renewed for more seasons.
Here’s everything you need to know about whether the acclaimed series will return or if it was the one-time story.
Has The Decameron ended after Season 1?
Yes, The Decameron ended with its first season, featuring just eight episodes. Netflix designated it a limited series, so a second season is unlikely.
The Decameron is a black-comedy series set in 1348 during the Black Death pandemic in Florence. It follows a group of nobles and servants who leave their country home to seek refuge at a grand villa. As they wait for the plague to end, social rules crumble and they are forced to fight for survival. Through the lens of funny characters, the series sheds light on social differences, the struggle for power, and human survival skills. The series draws inspiration from Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio’s collection of stories of the same name.
In a conversation with Harper’s Bazaar, Tanya Reynolds, who plays Licisca, praised the show for its originality, multidimensional story, and funny characters. “It’s a really well-written satire, with an ensemble of 10 lead characters who are all really funny, multidimensional and all have strong character arcs. They’re all messy and unique, and I felt the show had such a such originality about it,” she said.
Is The Decameron canceled or renewed for more seasons?
As of now, The Decameron has not been canceled or renewed for additional seasons. Since it is a limited series, it is likely that The Decameron ended after the first season and will not have a subsequent season.
Usually, Netflix evaluates the audience’s reception and the show’s performance to decide whether to renew a series for another season. As the current series is garnering mostly positive reviews, fans have expectations of it getting renewed. However, due to the limited nature of the series, it is unlikely to be renewed. Additionally, Netflix leaves no loose ends in such a series and wraps it up in a single season.
