But Netflix has mostly kept to its 'Limited Series' promise with shows, with When They See Us, Unbelievable, and Godless as a few other key examples. Netflix called The Queen's Gambita limited series, but many in that show's cast have teased a potential return. Now, that's not to say it definitely won't come back. While some threads are left open that could certainly be expanded upon in a potential Season 2-Boro taking on a new body, Lisa going to Brazil, Lou still being alive but blind-every piece of branding in the show's marketing campaign has referred to Brand New Cherry Flavor as a "limited series." In full, the show's official poster (and on Netflix's platforms) it's called "A Netflix Limited Series," which pretty definitively means the story that was meant to be told got told. Brand New Cherry Flavor isn't likely to have a Season 2. Could it pull a The Leftoversand expand its footprint far beyond the existing story? We'll have to see. The series gets increasingly gross and violent as it moves along, but when it finally reaches its conclusion, you may have one simple question: what's next? Brand New Cherry Flavor is based on a novel, and while Season 1 only barely gets into the novel's storyline (less than 100 pages in, to be precise), it changes enough that the story, really, is not following any sort of source material anymore outside of the basics. Salazar has a rough edge to her protagonist that makes us root for her just enough, while Lange channels his inner Jeff Goldblum to play the slimy-but-charismatic type of Hollywood producer we've all heard so much about. The story is the best kind of horror-basic enough to follow, but with enough disgusting, David Cronenberg-esque body horror, and enough what the fuck? style David Lynch existentialism to really make you question just about every minute of what you just watched. Along the way she meets sleazy-but-talented producer Lou Burke (Eric Lange), a rising star actor (Jeff Ward), and an eccentric woman who.is basically a witch (the great Catherine Keener). ![]() Our story here follows Lisa Nova ( Alita: Battle Angel star Rosa Salazar ), a young filmmaker looking to expand her groundbreaking short film into a major motion picture. Horror fans got a real treat with Netflix's Brand New Cherry Flavor, an eight-part series set in the cutthroat world of early '90s Hollywood. The following story contains spoilers for the end of Brand New Cherry Flavor on Netflix.
