Since then, NBC also pulled the plug on Good Girls, which seemed like an obvious renewal, and a Law & Order spinoff. That gives them a whole hour to fill, and Showbiz 411 says it could be filled with Manifest. Normally when a show is given the ax, the sets are torn down. It has been nearly a month, and the plan to scrap the set has been scrapped.
Not only that, the show’s mastermind, Jeff Rake, tweeted, “I’m not giving up. Keep the faith,” last week.
Could NBC and Netflix be changing their minds? We shall see. But I think it deserves a chance to wrap up since its story was only half-told.
Although it is rare that a show gets picked up after it has been cancelled, it does happen. For example, CBS cancelled and then picked up Jericho and Unforgettable, while NBC did the same with Timeless. So, there is a glimmer of hope. If only we had a plane that could take us five years into the future and tell us what happened. Although, that is what got us into this mess in the first place.
NBC revealed the premiere dates for their 2021-2022 shows yesterday, but there was one show missing. That show is Law & Order: For the Defense, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, it is not moving forward.
The latest Law & Order spinoff, which was given a straight-to-series order in May, was not going the way Dick Wolf envisioned. Therefore, he pulled the plug on the show.
Don’t feel too bad for him. He still has 8 other shows on the air. I am sure there will be a ninth one before we know it at the rate he is going.
Are you missing your favorite NBC shows? Well, they are going to be back starting on September 20th. So get your calendars ready, so you don’t miss a single premiere date.

Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide was supposed to debut on NBC after the Olympic’s closing ceremonies, but that is no longer happening, according to Deadline.
Last month, the show’s production was halted when several members of the crew experienced explosive diarrhea due to a parasite. The network tried to find the show a new location to film the final week but have been unsuccessful as of now. Therefore, they lost the primo spot on the NBC schedule.
There was just one show from last season that was awaiting its fate, and today Good Girls found out what it is. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it did not get a fifth season, and what would have been a final season, from NBC.
The studio tried to get Netflix to pick it up, but they passed on it. Therefore, we will never find out if and how the Good Girls, Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman will get themselves out of the trouble they got themselves into.
Are you sad that we won’t find out how it would’ve ended?
