Move over The Boys and Misfits, because Supacell has arrived to Netflix and the new superhero series has had everyone talking. Now, series creator Rapman has revealed that the show originally had a completely different ending.
The series, which dropped on 27th June, follows a group of ordinary south Londoners who suddenly discover they have superpowers. We’re talking invisibility, super strength, time travel and more!
We’re still thinking about that season finale and waiting on news about season two. So, if you’re anything like us, here is everything you need to know about the show’s alternative ending without the shocking death.
Warning, spoilers below!
So, to catch you up, the final episode (which we’ve explained here, thank us later!) sees Michael, Rodney, Sabrina, Andre and Tazer join forces against the hooded figures and Krazy. But, Dionne is sadly shot and dies in Michael’s arms. We’re still not over it!
Now, Supacell creator Rapman has revealed that the show originally had a different ending where Dionne didn’t die. “Honestly, she wasn’t meant to die,” he told Tudum.
“The original ending was, [Michael] didn’t tell [Dionne] that she was going to die. He didn’t tell her what he saw in the future. And he kept on not telling her, even though she kept on saying, ‘What is the problem? Why you acting so different? You’re coming home late, you’re leaving early. You’re just a different person.’
“And he always figured that if I tell her, she can never live her life. So she said, ‘Listen, I can’t take this no more. I feel alone, and it’s either you tell me or I’m leaving.’ So he started realising the only way to save you is to let you go,” he concluded. We’re not crying, you are 🥺.
But, we have another question, will Dionne come back to life in a potential second season? “There’s no coming back from the dead in this show,” Rapman said. Um, well, that’s that then!
Supacell is streaming on Netflix now.
