Can The Nevers Succeed Without Joss Whedon?
In February, following an onslaught of allegations of toxic behavior on various sets — going back decades — Joss Whedon finally broke his silence in an interview with Vulture. The interview came too late to salvage Whedon’s reputation: the decades’ worth of rumors and reports that had been spilling out since 2017 had already forced Whedon to step down from his latest venture. Yet while the interview was deeply unsatisfying as either an apology or an explanation, it was nonetheless illuminating: suggesting a way that Whedon’s projects could endure, untainted by the tarnishing of Whedon’s personal and professional legacy. That is good news for HBO’s low fantasy/steampunk adventure series The Nevers, which now faces a tremendous task to remain unblemished by his disgrace.
