The New Crime Thriller Netflix Hit Is Based On DC Comic

The series is currently listed as a limited series, much like its comic book counterpart. That means the intent from the start was to make a predetermined amount of episodes and then peace out. “We went to Netflix like, ‘this is one series, this is a one and done, we wanna close this off,” said Tomalin when discussing Bodies limited run on Netflix.

The creator went on to say that he abhors cliffhangers and feels like there’s “a duty to an audience,” to provide a concrete ending to what he calls a “propulsive” story. Of course, pop culture fans know that often, when one-off projects like, say, 2019’s Joker perform ridiculously well and earn a ton of money, they tend to spawn sequels regardless of the creator’s original intention.

Obviously, we don’t know Paul Tomalin enough to say for certain if he would be willing to change his mind or not if the price is right, but we know Hollywood well enough to bet on him doing so if Bodies proves to be a particularly lucrative IP for Netflix.
