What&#8217;s happened here is a new one for me, and a shock, and I won&#8217;t pretend it doesn&#8217;t really sting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mientus said he was \u201coptimistic\u201d that the show could find a new home elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><em>Grendel<\/em> was an eight-episode series based on a Dark Horse comic book series about a masked vigilante.  Abubakr Ali starred in the main role as the first Arab Muslim male actor to give life to a lead in a comic book adaptation.
