Millar
The most direct commentary on the renewal of a Jupiter legacy that we have gotten so far comes from Millar himself, who gave an interview to ComicBook.com shortly after the premiere. He said, “We know where we’re going. I mean the books are a good model, the books are all there for us, so we have a very rough plan, but we know it all depends on, not to become too arrogant., that the public react as we think. “
“We feel good,” he continued. “We have a feeling people are going to like it; the response has been incredible so far. So we really think this has a lot of likes, I think. So, yes, we love it. I mean, we talk privately all the time about what we’d like to do, but nothing can be formal until we get our numbers. “

Aggregate
Another important consideration is the critical reception of the show – especially on review aggregation sites. like rotten tomatoes. As of this writing, the show has a disheartening 37% approval rating among critics, but a 72% rating among audiences. That could be good news overall, as Netflix is sure to weigh audience enjoyment over critical accolades. Still, it would be much better to increase those two numbers.

Adaptation
It’s also worth noting that a big part of the reasons studios make comic book or book adaptations in the first place is because the story is already there for them to take inspiration from. In the case of Jupiter’s legacy, this means that there are ten numbers to rely on, plus the derived series Circle of Jupiter. Assuming Netflix bought the rights to all of these books, not adapting them would essentially mean wasting the money it spent on acquiring them.
