Days after Netflix revived Manifest for the fourth and final run, Manifest Season 4 unveiled who will stay in their journey for one last time. Well, you don’t need to be disheartened. As many of the main cast will return to the final chapter. However, some of their fate still remains up in the air. Created by Jeff Rake, the supernatural drama revolves around the mystery behind the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of Montego Air Flight 828.

However, despite Manifest being one of the most popular shows on NBC, the network canceled the show soon after dropping its season 3 finale. While some were trying to figure it out, many fans quickly hop on social media to begin campaign #SaveManifest. Well, it didn’t take a while when Netflix decided to renew the show for the fourth and final season. However, Manifest was initially supposed to run for six seasons. So, now it would be intriguing to see how things would unfold only in one season.

Manifest Season 4: Who Will Return?

Manifest’s budget eventually increased after it landed on Netflix. This shift to the streaming platform has offered pay bumps to the cast as well. Although the official cast list has yet to reveal, fortunately, we learned who will return. As per the Deadline, WB Television and Netflix have signed the deal with the original cast except some. Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, and J.R. Ramirez have already closed their deal before the revival news. So they would return as Michaela Stone, Ben Stone, and Jared Vasquez.

Besides them, other series regulars would also join. These include Parveen Kaur as Saanvi Bahl, Luna Blaise as Olive Stone, and Holly Taylor as Angelina Meyer. Further, Ty Doran, who appeared as a teenager Cal Stone (played by Jack Messina in the first three seasons) in the third season finale, has been promoted to a series regular for the final run.

Will Matt Long Return?

While many of the original cast has sealed the deal to return to their new home, the only one whose fate remains in jeopardy is Matt Long. Well, Matt currently commits NBC’s new series Getaway. However, if the schedule permits, then there’s a slight possibility that Matt could return to continue his story arc. Matt plays Zeke Landon, who entangles in the same situation as the flight 828 passengers and later beats his death date.

What Will Happen With Grace?

In the closing moment, Taylor’s Angelina stabbed Athena Karkanis’ Grace and left the place with Eden. However, the creator cited that Grace’s death could play a prominent part in the finale. Well, it seems that now return teenager Cal knows it is coming, but his action might change everything. Further, Ben would find it difficult to cope with his loss in the final run. But now that they killed off the characters, there’s no chance that Athena could return.

Manifest Season 4: When Will Production Begin?

Rake previously stated in an interview that he sees Manifest as the six-season show. But unfortunately, they need to sum up the entire journey in a single season. Thus, he needs some time to map the whole season by eliminating paltry scenes and focusing more on the missing plane mystery. Further, he ensured that the camera could start rolling sometime in late November or early December.

Kristen, Ben, and David will involve in another case in Evil Season 2 Episode 9. But this time it would take them far away from spirituality. Well, Kristen and David were in an enigmatic situation in the last episode. However, it would continue affecting their views in Evil Season 2 Episode 9. Meanwhile, Kristen will question her sanity and find herself in a troubling situation to select which way she wants to go. Elsewhere, Andy would discover something dangerous.

Evil Season 2 Episode 9 Preview: What Will Happen Next?

Evil Season 2 Episode 9, titled “U Is For U.F.O.,” is written by Nialla Bese LeBouef. Well, it seems it will further delve into the mystery of the church, which has some connection with the U.F.O. However, it doesn’t seem like typical UFO sightings which would draw the trio’s attention. But it could be more like The X-Files, which has plenty of heinous stories attached to it. As per the synopsis, Bishop Marx once again calls the team to help him out in the new case.

He asks the team to investigate a UFO sighting that an air force pilot spots. But it doesn’t feel like a typical case where an extraterrestrial being or other phenomena could appear. Instead, it feels like it would deeply connect with the church mystery, which would once again take them to a new expedition while discovering things beyond their imagination.

Will Kristen’s Action Affect Her Family?

Since Kristen’s husband Andy returns from his mountain-climbing expenditure, he discovers something is wrong with his wife. However, his attempt to dig into her world doesn’t land the way he imagined as Sheryl only blamed Andy for everything. Further, it doesn’t look like she’s in possession, but when she touches her belly with the hot cross. It doesn’t even feel like she’s in the right mindset, which will continue affecting her relationship. Thus, Andy might spy on her to learn more about her life, which could make him in trouble.

A Quick Recap!

In the prior episode, titled “B Is For Brain,” Andy finally returns from his quest. However, Kristen doesn’t seem happy about it, unlike her kids. Despite this, the couple spends the night together. David, Ben, and Kristen are tasked to test the brain mapping experiment on the following day. However, they found that the experiment induced spiritual visions, which resulted in many people changing into Christianity. While Kristen believes that the internal apostasy of dopamine causes such visions, David disagrees that technology can’t induce spirituality.

So, to find out, David becomes a subject, but he sees Kristen killing LeRoux. However, after realizing that her secret was out, she rushed to him to clear the entire story. But she encounters Leland feeding on David’s crippled arm. Later she realized that all this time, she was in the machine. But when Dr. Boggs advises that she may have feelings for David, she denies but proposes that this machine could help cure depression. Elsewhere, Andy questioned Kristen about her job, which ended up in a massive conflict.

So finally, we have a date that seems to be the ultimate one. Recently, Benedict Cumberbatch shared his feelings about the departure of Scott Derrickson. Scott was the director of the first edition of Doctor Strange. He was also supposed to be the director of the second part. Unfortunately, Disney replaced him, citing creative differences. 

Moreover, Karen Malik shared the BTS images about the reshoot wrap of Elizabeth Olsen, the infamous Scarlet Witch. Also, as per the reports The Evil Dead director, Sam Raimi, has replaced Derrickson. What’s more? Here is everything we know about Doctor Strange 2. Keep reading further about the release date, Cumberbatch’s views, and more relevant details about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of madness.

Benedict Felt Sad When Doctor Strange’s Original Director Left

Scott Derrickson, the director of Doctor Strange(2016), is not returning for Doctore Strange 2, citing creative differences. In a recent interview with THR, Benedict Cumberbatch recalled feeling sad about Derrickson’s departure. Scott Derrickson directed and co-wrote the first part of Doctor Strange along with C. Robert Cargill. In addition, Robert also agreed to Derrickson’s vision of the sequel and left along with him. However, the split between Disney and Derrickson has been easy-going, and the former director seems happy about it. Currently, Dickenson is working on a new project as the director and co-writer of The Black Phone, with his Doctor Strange writing buddy C. Robert Cargill.

Benedict Cumberbatch expressed that he felt a bit sad when Disney replaced Scott as the director of Doctor Strange in the Madness of Multiverse. Benedict was in New Zealand filming The Power of the Dog when Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige informed him about Derrickson’s departure from Doctor Strange 2. Further, he added that he felt sad, but he respected the studio’s decisions. Also, he said that it was not his decision to be made, and the split was done “amicably.”

Sam Raimi Will Serve As New Director

After Derrickson’s departure, Disney hired Sam Raimi as the new director for Doctor Strange 2. Raimi is no stranger to high-budget superhero movies and extravagant effects-driven scenes. He directed Spider-man 3 of the Toby Maguire trilogy in 2007. And Doctor Strange 2 will be Raimi’s first superman movie after Spider-man 3. Hopefully, the fans think that including Evil Dead horror specialist Raimi is best for the movie.

Also, following the inclusion of Raimi, the sequel is expected to have a series of scary sequences. Moreover, Elizabeth Olson and Tom Hiddleston will feature in the sequel as Scarlet Witch and Loki, respectively. However, it will be thrilling to see if Raimi fits in Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange 2 and what more he can provide to the sequel.

BTS Image Reveals Reshoot Wrap-up For Elizabeth Olsen

Following multiple pandemic delays, the principal photography of Doctor Strange 2 wrapped up in April 2021. As per Benedict Wong, Director Raimi is set to conclude the finalized reshoots this month. Recently, Hairstylist Karen Bartek shared an Instagram post featuring Elizabeth Olsen in the frame. The BTS image is from one of the film’s makeup trailers featuring Olsen. The caption of the post read, “Not ‘Strange’ Anymore!! Wrapped again.”

Interestingly, no set pictures have been leaked due to Marvel’s secrecy policy. And fans are quite impatient about what will happen next in Doctor Strange in the Madness of Multiverse. Presumably, Olsen will be playing a crucial role in the upcoming feeling, noting she’s just as powerful as Doctor Strange. The fans will probably see the Master of Mystic Arts and Scarlet Witch facing each other in Doctor Strange 2.

Doctor Strange 2: Release date

Disney Studios is set to release Doctor Strange 2 in the United States on March 25, 2022. Although fans expected the movie’s sequel to return soon. In fact, Marvel first set the release date in May 2021. Further, Disney moved the premiere date to November 2021. However, the latest release date of the sequel seems to be the final one.

It’s been a month or more when Control Z Season 2 landed on Netflix. Although the second run left plenty of questions unresolved, the fate of Control Z Season 3 remains up in the air. Susana fell off the school building while Sofia, Raul, and Maria watched her fall at Pablo’s feet. Meanwhile, Pablo somehow managed to flee with the money without even being caught. But now, it remains unclear whether she survived her fatal fate or the end of her legacy at Colegio Nacional.

Control Z Season 3: Has It Renewed Yet?

Control Z Season 2 landed on August 4, 2021, and now it’s been more than a month since Netflix remains mum about the third season’s fate. Well, the giant streaming platform generally takes a couple of months to decide the show’s future. However, it wasn’t the case with Control Z Season 2. As soon as the first season dropped, Netflix ordered another season to explore the mystery of Colegio Nacional.

But it’s taking more than usual time to decide the fate of the third season. Further, the streamer hasn’t yet revealed the viewership of the second run. However, it gained a mixed response from the fans as well as critics. It garnered positive 67% reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, while it only catered a 6.9 positive response on IMDb. Thus deeming this response, it remains unclear whether the show could return for the next run or not.

Can The Pandemic Affect Its Future?

Well, Netflix canceled many shows last year. However, Netflix’s former content head, Cindy Holland, stated that the show’s renewal status depends on the cost vs. viewership analysis. But it has been seen that pandemic has played a key role in the recent cancelation of the shows. Well, the pandemic has made the entertainment industry proceed cautiously. So it could be a key factor why Netflix is still taking time to return with the third run. However, the streamer neither canceled the show yet. So Control Z’s fans can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

Meanwhile, instead of helping Susana, Pablo quickly picked up the money surrounding her body and escaped to save Natalia.

Can they gather the entire money which requires for rescuing Natalia? Is Susana alive? Well, each season revolved around revenge. So we expect that Control Z Season 3 will explore Pablo’s story. Further, Susana’s fall could bring plenty of issues in everyone’s life as a new character might introduce who’s seeking revenge or answers about Susana’s condition.
