Canceled Netflix Series Gets Surprise Update 6 Years Later
With so many shows being available on Netflix, that means plenty of cancellations in addition to those being renewed, and some fans are devastated as their favorite shows are seemingly dropped forever. Now, however, one canceled Netflix series has received a surprising update six years following its cancellation. This particular series left fans with a major cliffhanger, one which occurred at the end of its second season, and after six years it seemed as though that would remain the case. While participating in an interview, one of the show's cast members opened up about a potential future for the series where it could continue. Here's what actor Jason Isaacs had to say on Jo Whiley's BBC radio show regarding his update, noting that he has been speaking with the Netflix series' co-creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij: 'That story cannot end there,' he begins. 'Zal and Brit and I had dinner last week in Los Angeles, and there's no chance for letting it go. That's all I can say. Not because I'm keeping secrets from you, but because we will not let it go.' The series that Isaacs is referring to is none other than The OA, a sci-fi show released by Netflix in 2016. The second season was later released in 2019. While this was the last season of the series, the show's co-creators intended it to last for a total of five seasons, so it's obvious that quite a few plot threads were left unanswered. Fortunately, it seems as though this could also be a jumping point for a new iteration to pick up the prematurely-canceled Netflix series. While Isaacs couldn't reveal many other details on that front, it's certainly exciting to note that both he and the show's co-creators are interested in keeping the series from staying dead. Of course, we'll have to see whether or not they succeed in getting a revival off the ground. Fans would definitely be delighted, however, so hopefully more news will follow soon. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the potential revival of The OA as we have them.

Is OA Returning? Jason Isaacs Drops a Major Spoiler For Sci-Fi Show Coming Back After 6 Years
Jason Isaacs is set to return to the screens after showing off his brilliance in The White Lotus season 3. The actor made an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark in the last month and shared an update on Netflix's sci-fi show, The OA, returning on the streaming platform. The series, which debuted in 2016 and ran for two seasons, was called off abruptly when the filming for Season 3 was underway. Isaacs portrayed the role of Dr. Hunter Aloysius Percy, alongside Brit Marling, Patrick Gibson, Ian Alexander, and Phyllis Smith, among others. Jason Isaacs spills the beans over the return of The OA While sitting down for an interview with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the actor shared that the show is "not over yet" and the team is getting back together for the revival. Ripa went on to quip, "We were the original fans of The OA. We were diligent about our viewing; we binged it, we a certain point, we knew the moves.' Isaacs claimed that it was 'impressive.' The Patriot actor went on to state that the show's makers faced protests initially due to the cancelation of the show. They performed movements outside the Netflix building. He casually mentioned, "By the way, it's not over. Not for us." The British star further revealed that she recently had a meeting with the showrunners, Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. Isaacs shared, "We can't let it go. I was with them just a couple of weeks ago, and we have decided, whatever it takes." While the talk show hosts cheered over hearing that the show will come back, Jason went on to conclude, "I think there's only about 40 million people around the world who want to watch it. It was a very successful show. So hopefully, they'll watch whatever we do." Further details about The OA will be rolled out by the makers soon.

Not just The Residence, Netflix has canceled two more beloved shows
Netflix has canceled three beloved shows after just one season – the detective show The Residence, the medical drama Pulse, and the comedy No Good Deed. Netflix often cancels shows if they fail to receive high standards of viewership. Mindhunter, The OA, and Sense8 were among some of the most popular shows that were dropped sooner than fans expected. Not just The Residence, Netflix has canceled two more beloved shows (Unsplash - representational image) No Good Deed and Pulse were met with mixed reviews by critics. However, The Residence was quite well received, with an 85% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The synopsis of the show reads, "132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world's most famous mansion." Netflix's synopsis of No Good Deed reads, 'The sale of Paul and Lydia's picture-perfect LA home forces them to face painful family secrets — and hide them from prying eyes and cutthroat buyers.' Netflix says of Pulse, 'A group of ER residents navigate medical crises and personal drama amid a divisive allegation at their Miami hospital.' When Uzo Aduba opened up about her love for Cordelia Cupp Uzo Aduba, who stars in the show, has not spoken out about the cancellation yet even though she has been active on social media. Most recently, the actress shared her workout routine, saying in a post, "I learn so much from the fitness community I'm surrounded by and I'm SO lucky to go to a gym that pushes, supports, and listens to me. Keep going team, we got this." Aduba previously spoke about her admiration for the character Cordelia Cupp. She told The Hollywood Reporter in the past, "When it came to this script, I was really interested in the pace. It just had a wonderful crispness and cadence to it.' She added, "I think the very first thing as it relates to Cordelia that I was interested in was I could just very quickly hear her voice more than anything. I could hear how she processes information [and] thinks. I felt inspired by her voice, which to me felt very deliberate, very intentional."

Fans annoyed ‘most ridiculous TV show ever' is getting another spin-off
It can be a pretty frustrating feeling to see one of your favourite series get cancelled just as it is about to hit its stride. Fans of shows such as Mindhunter, The OA and The Punisher still can't seem to get over their respective cancellations. But for Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, which stars Kelly Reilly and Wes Bentley, that certainly does not seem to be the case. Following the Dutton family, who own the largest contiguous ranch in America, the show depicts their constant conflict with various groups, such as Native American tribes and the National park, who are seeking to encroach upon their land. Yet, despite being described by a critic at the Guardian as a 'bloated ranch-based soapy mess', a new series centred on Kayce Dutton has been greenlit at CBS. Titled 'Y: Marshalls', the spin-off will be written by Spencer Hudnut while Yellowstone mastermind Sheridan, who is known for writing season 1 of True Detective, will be an executive producer. Responding to the news, there was some mixed feedback to say the least. On X, @Brandi74950103 said: 'He was a really complex, conflicted character. If they do this right, it could be a great show.' However, @nikkibluvs responded by saying: 'How many does that make🙄🙄' Despite hundreds of thousands of cowboy fans over the world watching Yellowstone, it seems no one can agree whether it is good or not. Even on the Yellowstone section of Reddit – where you'd expect to find the series's most devout followers – people have labelled the it 'the most ridiculous TV show I've ever watched'. Dmick74 said: 'I watched the first season a couple years ago and I had a hard time believing that people were calling it a great show considering it's nothing more than a daytime soap opera with a bigger budget. It's ridiculous.' Reddragon105 also wrote: 'It might be the dumbest show I've watched in years. We powered through the first season waiting for it to get good and it was a straight up joke. 1883 1923 6666 The Madison 1944 Y: Marshalls* 'When season 2 started and Costner's colon cancer (which he had feet of intestines removed) was suddenly diagnosed as a blood clot by a horse vet, I turned it off for good.' Meanwhile, Massive-Device-1200 highlighted some of the most bizarre reoccurring themes such as that all people from California are 'evil, vegan, land buyers' and they 'must be shot or driven out or bullied… only true rangers can buy land'. Not everyone dislikes the Dutton family's misadventures, though. Dragonsmilk commented: 'Extremely popular soap opera for men with cowboys. No more, no less.' AuntieEvilops similarly echoed: 'It's a western soap opera. Folks shouldn't go in expecting anything more than that.' If fans can agree on one thing, it's that Yellowstone is divisive. But when it came to the show's finale in December last year, there was pretty much unanimous agreement that it wasa 'letdown that never should have happened'. More Trending The latest series was first said to be in the works at the network back in March, but CBS has now given the show a 13-episode order, according to Variety. There are plans for the series to begin shooting this summer to launch at midseason 2026. Luke Grimes will once again play Kayce, who is the youngest of the Dutton siblings and a former Navy SEAL.
