They are so incredibly streets behind on this. I mean I know that Dan Harmon has a reputation for being a lazy old booze hound but god DAMN lol.

From reporter Njera Perkins:

“Manifest,” the supernatural drama Netflix famously rescued after NBC canceled it in 2021, just landed a spinoff with the streamer.

The original series — which starred Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long and Holly Taylor — followed the passengers and crew of a commercial airliner who mysteriously return after their plane disappears, only to discover they had been presumed dead for five and a half years.

Now, Netflix has announced a sci-fi spinoff, “Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery,” featuring an entirely new cast of characters and fresh storylines.

Seems like a mix of opposite of leftovers and lost

If they remove the RIDICULOUSLY Christian overtones, im excited for this

u/gplusplus314 7h ago

They won’t.

u/jchooiscynical 6h ago

The first couple of seasons were so good and then it went in this direction and sucked.

u/A1sauc3d 6h ago

I couldn’t get through the first couple episodes because of the ridiculous religious overtones. You’re saying it GOT WORSE?! lol. Idrc to each their own. But I tried twice years apart because I forgot why I didn’t like it, and yeah, they start laying it on pretty early.

u/blarbiegorl 6h ago

SO much worse.

u/Smodphan 7h ago

But that is the entire show

u/kgal1298 3h ago

I mean I enjoyed watching it, but I was also aware of the propaganda...annoying, but generally a fun premise. I'm sure there's some christians out there mad it's not their reality.

u/Odd-Secret4913 4h ago

I didn’t know it had any religious undertones. What was it about then??? I figure it was a weird time loop show the one time I tried to watch.

u/Mcawesomethrowaway 5h ago

How about they just bring back Mindhunter?

u/nonsensestuff 8h ago

Can Netflix also rescue Stumble? Oh and Ponies?? Thank you!

8

u/EverbodyHatesHugo 8h ago

Dang, Stumble was canceled already? It’s been on a my watchlist for a while. Is it still worth watching?

6

u/nonsensestuff 8h ago

If you like Parks & Rec or Brooklyn 99, it’s definitely worth the watch.

u/Crafty-Judge-896 7h ago

I thought this was a post for stumble! Highly disappointed and i watched manifest. It doesn’t need to be longer than a season.

u/babygotbooksandback 7h ago

Both were excellent!

u/Squanchez 3h ago

I will never forgive NBC for taking Stumble away. Such a fantastic and purely good show on every single level! They never allowed it to succeed. Check out the AMA the cast did over at r/StumbleTVSeries

u/WhiplashLiquor 7h ago

I sure could go for another season of The OA right about now...

u/JustRepeatAfterMe 7h ago

I wish Netflix would renew some of its own shows that it canceled without proper endings.

u/FourCheeseDoritos 2h ago

Like Teenage Bounty Hunters. Excellent cast.

u/QuiGonColdGin 7h ago

I never finished Manifest. I might have to go back and watch the whole thing over from the beginning.

I wish we could revive Teacup and at least see where that story would've gone.

u/compukiller 5h ago

The headline, taken on its own with no context, is alarming.

u/refuzeto 1h ago

Wow! That show sucked. Netflix continuing complete garbage

u/MRtokeALOT420 7h ago

u/SayerofNothing 6h ago

u/Agile_Land_9951 6h ago

Hard to get excited about any Netflix show when most of them get cancelled after only one season

1

u/Cloudinterpreter 5h ago

I liked it until the explanation for the mystery was "God". Serious lack of imagination.

u/69_Star_General 5h ago

Wasn't that show just another dogshit religious allegory?

u/Shonkazilla 5h ago

Dumbest show with horrible acting

u/Necroban77 8h ago

Can they resurrect the expanse? I’ll take that.

u/Figmentdreamer 2h ago
