NBC seems to be in the habit of pissing off the hardcore fanbases of their shows. Fresh off canceling Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist after two seasons, the network has decided to not renew their missing plane drama series Manifest for a fourth season. The decision came down Monday night, just hours before the options on the cast were to expire Tuesday and amid a strong showing of Manifest on Netflix where it has been No.1 in the U.S. for the past three days.

The decision to cancel Manifest is going to frustrate the series’ fans because this show had a six-season plan which means the show ends without closing out all of the mysteries that have been set up over its three-season run. The show was the highest-rated in the linear ratings of all of NBC’s four bubble shows which also include Debris, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, & Good Girls. All but Good Girls have been canceled as that series is still awaiting news of its fate. The now series finale of Manifest drew a series low 0.4 in the 18-49 demo and a viewership low of 2.6 million viewers.

WBTV is expected to look for a new home for the show since its story hasn’t been completed. Netflix, where Manifest debuted last Thursday, could be a possibility since it’s already performing so well there but there have been no formal conversations since the news just broke. #SaveManifest campaigns are already beginning to pop up on social media so fans are clearly not ready for this show to go quietly into the night.

Manifest focuses on Montego Air Flight 828, which landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight. The crew and passengers are relieved to be safe but in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years and their friends, families, and colleagues, after mourning their loss, had given up hope and moved on. Now, faced with the impossible, they’re all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds, and some of the returned passengers soon realize they might be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible. The series stars Josh Dallas, Jack Messina, Athena Karkanis, Melissa Roxburgh, JR Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Parveen Kaur, and Matt Long.

The Blacklist: Megan Boone to exit series after 8 seasons https://trueindependent.org/the-blacklist-megan-boone-to-exit-series-after-8-seasons/ https://trueindependent.org/the-blacklist-megan-boone-to-exit-series-after-8-seasons/#respond Wed, 11 Nov 2020 17:35:06 +0000 https://trueindependent.org/?p=15 Megan Boone is crossing her name off The Blacklist after eight seasons.

Megan Boone is crossing her name off The Blacklist after eight seasons. Boone plays the female lead, Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Keen, opposite James Spader’s Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington, on the series. She’s scheduled to make her last appearance as a series regular during the upcoming Season 8 finale.

According to Deadline, Boone has been plotting her exit for a while. In fact, she decided to leave well before The Blacklist was picked up for a ninth season. This gave the writers ample time to craft an exit that will hopefully be well-received by fans. While she’s walking away from The Blacklist, Boone already has other projects in the works to focus on.

During her time on The Blacklist, Boone’s Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Keen has gone from a rookie FBI agent to a criminal on the run. You might say that extenuating circumstances have transformed her throughout the years, leading her down a path toward the Dark Side. After watching ‘Red’ Reddington kill her mother, Liz made him her next and primary target. However, anyone who watched The Blacklist will know that Red is a slippery sort, and so their game of cat and mouse continues.

Before Boone leaves the show, The Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp has teased that the show will be “going back to the very beginning and unpack answers to eight years worth of questions.” Obviously, the writers have a lot of ground to cover. Let’s hope they’re up to the task.

How will The Blacklist move forward without Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Keen as a key component? Who else could serve as a proper foil for Spader’s Reddington? I know a lot of people who still love this show, and they’ll be dying to find out.
