Cursed Ending explained

The big question at the end of Cursed is what happens to Nimue? The answer to this question is quite unsure. The ending scene is very wide open and suggests that the narrative can go in any direction if the series comes back with a second season. At the ending of Cursed, Nimue is tracked down while she is attempting to escape Uther’s camp with an injured Merlin. She is then shot down with arrows by her wannabe Red Paladin sister Iris.

A mortally wounded Nimue whose body is riddled with arrows then falls off from the rock bridge into a whirling pool at the base of a waterfall. In the dying moments of the series finale, the audience sees an image of an injured Nimue floating in the water which is turning red with her blood. Nimue is the show’s main character and therefore it is doubtful that she is actually dead. For the fans of the show, it is a good sign that her dead body is not shown anywhere near the ending of Cursed.

Her wounds surely look bad, but there is still a chance that she might wash up on the shores of the river somewhere and again start her quest to save her people. In Arthurian legend, Nimue is also known as Lady of The Lake. This suggests that she might return back if there is a season 2 in a completely different way.
