How was Netflix’s manifest saved? ( Photo Credit – Netflix )

In the ever-changing battlefield of streaming wars, Netflix Once again proven itself to be the fearless champion of lost causes. The platform, known for reviving abandoned fan-favorites, took up the sword this time for Manifest, a supernatural thriller that was left to fade into oblivion by NBC in 2021.

Manifest: From Cancellation to Resurrection

Much like its legendary intervention with Lucifer in 2018, Netflix stepped in at the perfect moment, breathing life back into a show that had been left on an agonizing cliffhanger.

The story, centered around a group of passengers who boarded a flight from Jamaica to New York only to land five years later, seemingly untouched by time, had captivated audiences. The eerie visions and unexplained phenomena they experience after their return only deepened the enigma, making NBC’s abrupt cancellation a bitter pill to swallow for fans.

911: Lone Star has a big guest star coming for an upcoming episode that could spell trouble for Carlos!

Caution: This article contains Spoilers for 911: Lone Star Season 5

The final season of 911: Lone Star has had Carlos (Rafael L. Silva) still mourning the murder of his father, which has Carlos joining the Texas Rangers. He’s been paired with Sam Campbell (Parker Young).

The Monday, Dec. 2 episode will have Carlos meeting Campbell’s wife, Ashley, with TVLine sharing the first pics of actress Peyton List in the role. However, this is not going to be a friendly get-together with a partner’s family, because in the Monday, Nov. 19 episode, Carlos had a line on his father’s killer, which led him to an informant, only for the man to be mortally wounded in a shootout.

The dying crook said he’d only talk to Carlos alone. When he did,...

This is one house call Carlos was hoping he’d never have to make. Following the revelation that Campbell may have been behind his father’s death, Carlos pays his shady partner a visit on 9-1-1: Lone Star‘s fall finale (Dec. 2, 8/7c), which introduces another piece to this ever-growing puzzle.

Karen's tragic exit from Shameless marked the end of her character arc, leaving a lasting impact on Lip's development. Jody's departure was a relief to fans as his character had overstayed his welcome, but his heartfelt final interaction with Sheila was touching. Eddie's irritating presence made his darkly funny demise one of the best exits on Shameless, showcasing the show's groundbreaking nature.

Throughout 11 seasons, Shameless said goodbye to countless characters, and despite the finale airing several years ago, the debate on which helped and which hurt the show rages on. As the show introduced several new characters through Shameless' decade on the air, it was inevitable that some had to leave. Even with many Gallagher family members, friends, and enemies coming and going, it's still rough for the audience to part ways with them. Because of this, many notable characters leaving Shameless were difficult for fans to get behind,...

Movie superheroes are intrinsically tied to comic books. The language, the shape of the narrative arcs and the visuals are nearly always either inspired by or reacting against the genre as established in four colours. Even supposedly grounded and gritty takes like M Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable use Bruce Willis’s poncho to signify a cape, with every shot framed to look like a comic book panel.

The most faithful screen realization of that imagery is usually the lavish CGI cinema spectacle, with TV all too often seen as its poor relation. The truth is, TV superheroism is now a genre all of its own, with its own tropes, rules and language that have for the most part left the comics far behind.

Max is getting off the bus.

The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed streamer has canceled The Girls on the Bus after a single season on the platform. The Warner Bros. TV-produced drama, originally developed at Netflix and The CW before landing at the studio’s streaming counterpart, wrapped its 10-episode run May 9.

“While Max will not be moving forward with a second season of The Girls on the Bus, we are grateful to have partnered with immensely talented Amy Chozick, Julie Plec, Rina Mimoun, as well as the teams at Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros.

Before Luke Mitchell made a home on Chicago Med this season, the ubiquitous Australian actor appeared on many, many TV shows, including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Blindspot, The Code, Legacies and Big Sky.

But it’s Mitchell’s breakout Stateside role on The CW’s The Tomorrow People, where he played the superpowered group’s leader John Young, that stands out for the actor. When asked which of his past characters he would like to revisit, Mitchell is quick to single out the short-lived series, which aired during the 2013-14 TV season.

If you are a TV fanatic, you've likely watched your fair share of CW shows. So, you already know that if you've seen an actor in one CW series, you've likely seen them again in another. This means you're probably already familiar with Melissa Roxburgh but don't even realize it.

Starting out in installments of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, the actress transitioned into broadcast television the following year.

To her credit, Melissa Roxburgh has become somewhat of a sci-fi siren of the small screen, often appearing in roles on shows with fantastical elements like time travel or supernatural monsters.

In recent years, she's gained notoriety, having developed a relationship with Netflix the same way she did with the CW. However, beyond being a serial series guest star, Roxburgh has had a handful of significant film roles that have shown she is a powerhouse of talent in her own right.

The 21st century is when everything changes.

British science fiction has been a lot of things. It was both cheesier and campier than its American counterpart, and yet also darker, grittier, and less afraid to tackle grown-up themes and bleaker outcomes. It had been a joke, and critically acclaimed, and it had all but died off except for some under-the-radar contenders.

And then something major happened: Doctor Who came back. It was always going to happen eventually – just look how many times The Tomorrow People has been remade. But Doctor Who didn’t just come back, it came back and became the biggest show in the country, on purpose.

Suddenly, the people in charge thought that maybe TV shows about ideas, and technology, and realities ahead of and besides our own could draw an audience, only this time they were taking it seriously and spending actual money on it. And...

Code 8: Part II brings back familiar faces while adding new, powerful actors for thrilling performances. The Amell cousins shine as Connor and Garrett, playing characters with supernatural abilities and complex backgrounds. Cast members like Alex Mallari Jr. and Sirena Gulamgaus enhance the worldbuilding and story of the sequel.

The cast of Netflix’s Code 8: Part II brings back many familiar faces from the first film while incorporating compelling new faces. Code 8: Part II is the sequel to Netflix’s 2019 movie starring cousins Stephen and Robbie Amell. Directed by Jeff Chan, these two films center on a world where 4% of people get ostracized from society due to their paranormal abilities. Both movies have gone over extremely well due to their strong worldbuilding and visual effects.

However, another reason for the movies’ success is due to the Code 8 cast and characters. The Amell cousins have a history of playing superheroes,...

Robbie Amell, born in Toronto on the cusp of the digital revolution, has risen through the ranks of Hollywood with a quiet tenacity often overlooked by glitzier narratives.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Wednesday, November 29, 2023.

After saying goodbye to countless cast members over the last few years, Luke Mitchell is joining the cast of Chicago Med.

We previously reported that Dr. Charles would be getting a blast from the past, and thanks to Deadline's exclusive, we can reveal it will be in the form of Mitchell's Dr. Mitch Ripley.

Don't get too attached to that name because the outlet states that there's a possibility the name could change.

Okay then.

As of now, Mitchell is on board in a recurring capacity, but there is the option to expand him to series regularly.

That, we guess, will be based on the reaction to the arc being cooked up involving the actor.

Chicago Med Season 9: Everything We Know

Mitchell is one of the best actors out there, so we really hope this works out for him.

Chicago Med has tapped Blindspot vet Luke Mitchell to join its hospital staff, our sister site Deadline reports.

As TVLine exclusively reported, Mitchell’s character, currently named Dr. Mitch Ripley, is an early thirtysomething male Emergency Department doctor who has a past connection to Dr. Charles (played by Oliver Platt). The new character — who is set to recur on the NBC drama, with the potential for a series-regular upgrade in Season 10 — comes from a troubled background, which led him to cross paths with Dr. Charles when he was growing up.

Warning: Spoilers for the season 3 finale of Upload.

The season 3 finale of Upload ends with a major cliffhanger as one of the two versions of Nathan is destroyed, leaving viewers in suspense. Robbie Amell discusses his experience playing two versions of Nathan and the creative process involved in differentiating the characters. The cast members share their thoughts on the unique love square between Nathan, Nora, and Ingrid, and speculate on which Nathan survived the finale.

All eight episodes of Upload season 3 are currently available to stream on Prime Video. Although the series is yet to be renewed for season 4, the finale left viewers with the biggest cliffhanger to date. After the original Nathan is taken into custody and Backup Nathan is captured during Horizen's Lakeview raid, it's revealed that one of the two versions has been destroyed by authorities. Fans are kept in the dark about which of the Nathans survived,...

Twilight was released on November 21, 2008, and even with how popular the book series was, no one expected the craze that it would bring to the film industry and fandom culture. The film kicked off not only one of the biggest franchises in movie history but also took a cast of relatively unknown actors and made them some of the biggest stars in the world.

Update November 9, 2023: With Twilight's 15th anniversary approaching, this article has been updated with the actor's most recent projects.

It is hard to believe Twilight was released almost fifteen years ago. It still somehow feels new, as the franchise saw a resurgence in 2021 when it arrived on Netflix, and an entirely new generation who missed the film phenomenon discovered it for the first time. While some may snark at it, Twilight has remained a classic for many people that they look back fondly on. With...

So many of our favorite celebrity couples have come and gone over the years, but there's one famous pairing who are still going strong: Robbie Amell and Italia Ricci. The longtime couple have been together for 16 years. Although they initially met on the set of 2005's "Cheaper by the Dozen 2," they didn't begin dating until they both starred in 2007's "American Pie Presents: Beta House." Nine years later, Amell and Ricci officially tied the knot in 2016, and they expanded their family in 2019.

While neither Amell nor Ricci talk about their relationship much in interviews, they do give fans a peek into their personal lives by sharing photos of their biggest milestones as a couple on Instagram. The social media platform is also where Amell and Ricci update fans on their latest acting projects. You may know Amell from TV series like "The Tomorrow People," "The Flash," and "Upload." Most recently,...

Some movies deal with real-life situations that are meant to intrigue and fascinate. Smaller stories, or stories that have never had the type of spotlight that Hollywood thought they deserved. But sometimes (wait for it) Hollywood sensationalizes or changes the plot to fit their narrative.

One of these movies was the 2008 movie 21—a film based on a book based on a sensational story. However, the film made some poor casting choices, and since its release, it has garnered more attention for its faults than for its triumphs.

21 and Bringing Down the House

The film 21 was based on a book by Ben Mezrich called Bringing Down the House. It tells the (semi) true story of an MIT student named Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) who joins the blackjack team led by Professor Mickey Rosa (Kevin Spacey). The team has such a high level of intelligence and skill that they begin making regular trips to Las Vegas.

Harrison Ford isn’t the only actor in the Indiana Jones franchise to have played the same character five times. With his most recent outing as the hat and whip-sporting adventurer in Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny, Ford has officially retired the Indiana Jones character. However, it’s taken him 41 years to rack up 5 appearances as Indy, whereas one of his co-stars in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade succeeded in racking up a similar record in just 27 years.

One of the tensest scenes in the Indiana Jones series occurs in The Last Crusade, when Dr. Jones finds himself in the middle of a Nazi rally attended by Adolf Hitler. While Jones faces off against the Nazis multiple times throughout the franchise, this is the only moment that sees him brought face-to-face with the monster himself. Hitler stares Indy down, takes his diary containing the secrets of the holy grail,...

Robbie Amell's TV and movie roles reflect his love of genre material. Most notably, the Canadian actor has portrayed a humanoid in Simulant, a deceased computer programmer in Upload, an iconic video game protagonist in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, an evil-doer in The Babysitter, a superpowered electrokinetic in Code 8 and a synergist in The Tomorrow People. Now he can add an elf to that growing fantasy list.

In The Witcher's third season, Amell plays Gallatin, a new character created by the series' showrunners. A military warrior, Gallatin leads the Scoia'tael on behalf of Nilfgaard. Unafraid to speak his mind, Gallatin's strong beliefs over freeing his race clash with Francesca, Queen of the Elves. But Emperor Emhyr's own ambitions might cut Gallatin's activism far shorter than anyone expected. Amell recently spoke to Cbr about transforming into an elf, preparing for battle, and meeting Henry Cavill.

While the 1960s launched Sci-Fi television shows like Star Trek and Doctor Who that are still making waves today, the 1970s saw the genre expand and develop to include themes more relevant to their own time. While many only lasted one or two seasons, and none survived past the early 1980s, their influence can still be felt in more recent shows such as The Walking Dead. Two notable exceptions were Battlestar Galactica and The Tomorrow People, which went on to enjoy successful reincarnations.

Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie are set to write and executive produce We Were Liars for Prime Video. The streaming service has given a series order to the project based on the bestselling young adult novel by E. Lockhart.

Author Lockhart will be involved in the series as an executive producer along with My So-Called Company’s Emily Cummins.

Tales from Middleton High is, as you may have already guessed, an anthology film centred around a high school. Five tales of what writer/director Zach Lorkiewicz refers to as “pop horror” related by Principal Clemens who is introduced in a spoof of PBS’ “Masterpiece Theater”.

The first segment “Pep” chronicles the battle between the Pom Poms and the Cheerleaders to win the 85th Annual Pep Rally Dance Off. The Poms have never won before but this year Penelope has something up her sleeve. Running just about ten minutes, “Pep” is mostly sendups of high school life building to a bloody final gag. Funny rather than scary it gets Tales from Middleton High off to a good start.

If you’ve ever been aboard an international flight, you know just how crowded those things can get. So naturally, the “Manifest” cast is pretty huge. First released on NBC and now streaming on Netflix, the record-breaking show follows the passengers of a plane that disappears mid-flight and lands five years later without explanation, or anyone on board noticing something was wrong.

But once they land, the Flight 828 passengers find their lives forever changed — and forever connected — through a series of visions dubbed “Callings,” which drive the 828ers to solve crimes, uncover mysteries and continually reunite thanks to the influences of a force they never fully understand.

“Manifest” just returned with the first half of a super-sized 20-episode fourth and final season, and as the series starts to pay off the promise that “it’s all connected,” many of the 828 passengers make their return, along with some new faces — or in Cal’s case,...

“When I first started working in film, what became so nice about watching sports was you didn’t know what was going to happen,” she says. “When you’re reading so many scripts, you start to feel like you know what’s going to happen in each one. Then you work on projects where you read the script over and over again, and you don’t have surprises. So I kind of fell back in love with baseball, particularly, because it was like, “Oh, I don’t know what’s gonna happen here. There’s no script to read. You’re going to have to wait till the end.’”

All eight seasons of Arrow are currently available on Netflix, but as is the case with the rest of The CW shows, Oliver Queen will have to leave the streaming service eventually.

Late last year, the shortened eighth and final season gave the Green Arrow an ending worthy of the character that kickstarted the multiverse of superheroes. Granted, we didn’t have a main villain to unify the arc, and most of the time, Oliver was facing fate itself, in a race to preserve the world from the threat of the Anti-Monitor and prepare for the “Crisis” event. But still, the ten episodes paid homage to the series in a lot of ways and almost made the emotional farewell to the green-hooded hero of Star City bearable. Almost.

Following Berlanti Productions’ big slate expansion over the past several years to become the most prolific producer in television, the company founded by Greg Berlanti is also expanding its top executive suite.

Sarah Schechter, who has served as President of Berlanti Productions for the past six years, overseeing both television and film, has been elevated to the newly created position of Chairwoman and Partner.

Former AMC Networks and Fox Broadcasting Company President David Madden has joined Berlanti Productions as its new President, spearheading the company’s television operations. He is expected to start next week and will report to Berlanti and Schechter.

Schechter has been instrumental in the growth of Berlanti Productions since joining the company in February 2014. At the time, Berlanti Productions had two series on the air, Arrow and The Tomorrow People at the CW, and was developing the pilot for The Flash. As of February 2020, Berlanti Productions...

Luke Mitchell with Jessica McNamee.

Luke Mitchell shot Andrew Traucki’s Black Water: Abyss, a survival thriller about five people who are attacked by killer crocodiles, in a purpose-built pool near Brisbane, but it was no picnic.

“The fear factor was real. There were tricky conditions as we were immersed in rising water in the dark with only our headlamps and torches for illumination,” the actor tells If after returning to his home in Los Angeles.

Mitchell readily accepted the role for several reasons. He wanted to “get my hands dirty” after playing Captain John Abraham in The Code, a military legal drama which screens on CBS All Access in the Us and here on 10 All Access.

It was his first ever genre film, it enabled him to come back to his native Queensland, and it was his first chance to work with Jessica McNamee.

“There was minimal dialogue, so...

“There’s a quote that, ‘You cannot be what you cannot see,’ and we think there’s a lot of truth in that,” says Peter Ash Lee, the New York-based editor behind the Asian-American arts and culture magazine Burdock. “Growing up, we didn’t see many reflections of ourselves in media, and when we did, they were often portrayals lacking any depth.”

The feelings of being “unseen” and a desire for multi-dimensional Asian-American experiences were what inspired Lee and his sister, Hannah, to create Burdock, which launched in April at New York’s Apex for Youth Gala.

“We’ve often been painted with a monolithic brush, but the Asian community contains so many multitudes and no two stories are identical — there are thousands of unique experiences and stories to tell,” Lee says.

Exclusive: Pretty Little Liars and Truth Or Dare actress Lucy Hale will star with When We First Met and The Flash actor Robbie Amell in rom-com movie The Hating Game, based on the hit novel by Sally Thorne.

The 2018 USA Today bestseller, published in more than 20 countries, tells the story of kind-hearted Lucy Hutton (Hale) and her cold, efficient nemesis Joshua Templeton (Amell). Resolving to achieve professional success without compromising her ethics, Lucy embarks on a ruthless game of one-upmanship against Josh, a rivalry that is impossibly complicated by her growing attraction to him.

Peter Hutchings (Then Came You) will direct Christina Mengert’s adaptation. Claude Dal Farra, Brice Dal Farra, and Brian Keady of Bcdf Pictures are producers. Mister Smith Entertainment is co-financing the film and will handle sales.

Mister Smith’s David Garrett stated, “The Hating Game is a gloriously funny and sexy rom-com with a broad audience appeal.

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Tuesday.

This week’s question: Inspired by the return of “Deadwood,” what’s another show that deserves a movie follow-up /wrap-up?

Joyce Eng (@joyceeng61), GoldDerby

I’m going to be that person and say nothing deserves a follow-up. Sure, some shows “deserve” one, like “Deadwood,” but nothing really does. Things end and that’s Ok! Even if it’s a frustrating non-ending or cliffhanger because you got canceled. There are too many things continuing and being rebooted and revived that don’t need to be. And yes, I know there’s a huge difference between ending on your own terms and getting abruptly axed with no closure, but I’d rather just be content with what I already got than hope a two-hour movie 10 years later lives up to my expectations. Because let’s be real,...

Luke Mitchell is an actor whose versatility sparks a different impression for each type of viewer. His fellow Aussies may recognize him from playing heartthrobs on the teen series “H20: Just Add Water” and the long-running “Home and Away” soap. Others may have caught him in regular roles on sci-fi or superhero series like “The Tomorrow People” and “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” and as a murderous villain in NBC’s “Blindspot.” But Mitchell’s most prominent role to date is the lead in CBS’ new procedural, “The Code,” as Captain John “Abe” Abraham. The drama, which premiered April 9 and is now airing on Mondays, follows six lawyers in the Marine Corps in and out of the courtroom. Mitchell sat down with Variety to talk about doing an American accent, his body of work, and his Australian roots.

What for you is at the core of “The Code”?
