‘God Friended Me’ Stars Brandon Michael Hall and Violett Beane Speak Out About Surprising Cancellation
CBS shocked fans when it announced it was ending God Friended Me after season 2.
While the ratings may not have been top tier, the series amassed a dedicated (and devout) following.
The premise of the series is also unique in terms of current programming. Along with a technological mystery, the series constantly provides feel-good moments and inspiring and uplifting stories that has made it a standout series.
In protest, fans began petitioning and beginning Netflix to save the series.
The stars of the show have also spoken out about the abrupt cancellation saying it wasn’t something they were expecting.
In an IG Q+A with fans on Thursday, Brandon Michael Hall (who plays Miles Finer) said the decision was “completely out of our control” and “a hard pill to swallow.”

He added, after “swallowing the pill a couple of days ago, I was able to reflect… about the time spent the past two years working on this show, and… I’m [so] grateful.”
“There’s something to be said for an artist to be able to wake up every single day and work with a group of people who you can honestly call your family,” Hall told fans. “The hardest thing is knowing I’m not going to be able to… work with them [every day].”
Violett Beane (Cara Bloom) took to Instagram to express her sadness writing: “Disclaimer: SADNESS 🙁 Unfortunately this is the end of the road for the god squad. We found out yesterday that our show will not be continuing for a third season.
I’ve been so humbled by all of the messages I’ve received from all of you throughout these last two years, about how much these stories have impacted your lives and helped you through some tough times. That’s all any of us could’ve hoped for and I’m glad we were able to give you that for the two years that we did.”

Everwood’s John Beasley has passed away.
The actor was best known for his role as Irv Harper on the WB drama that aired from 2002 through 2006. He also served as the show’s narrator.
He was 79.
His son confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter noting that his father died in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.
He was reportedly undergoing tests on his liver, though it’s unclear if that’s related to his death. A cause of death was not immediately announced.
His acting credits include Early Edition, Millennium, Judging Amy, The Soul Man, and appearances on hits like The Resident, NCIS, and Your Honor.
As for films, those include The Mighty Ducks, Rudy, The Sum of All Fears, Walking Tall and The Purge: Anarchy, with his final role in 2022’s Firestarter.
Everwood starred Emily van Camp, Gregory Smith, Chris Pratt, Tom Amandes, Debra Mooney, and Treat Williams. You can stream episodes of the hit by renting or purchasing the series on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Instant Video, and Vudu
RIP John.
Are you ready for Flight 828 to make its final descent?
On April 7, Netflix revealed the release date for the second half of the plane drama, along with a new teaser trailer to hold fans over.
Manifest Season 4 Part 2—all 10 episodes—will land on the streamer on Friday, June 2, 2023. For those that are keeping score, it’s a year ahead of the June 2, 2024 Death Date (so does this mean they find a way to beat it?!).
Netflix typically releases new episodes at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, which means it will drop at 3:00 am Eastern and 2:00 am CT.
And according to the teaser trailer, things are just as ominous as we expected when we saw the final shot of Season 4 Part 1 of Angelina bringing forth destruction via volcanic fissures.
“The world is ending and we know when,” Josh Dallas’ Ben Stone remarks in the trailer as everyone emphasizes June 2 numerous times.
Here’s the full synopsis for the forthcoming final set of episodes.
“A mysterious accident delivers ominous warnings on a biblical scale that will further jeopardize the livelihood of all the passengers,” the synopsis reads. “As Michaela [Melissa Roxburgh] grieves the loss of her beloved husband Zeke [Matt Long], she must team up with her old flame Jared [J.R. Ramirez] to find new methods to investigate Callings.”
The end may be near, but there’s still plenty of story left to tell—and we hope that they do right by the ending, giving a satisfactory conclusion to longtime fans who have rallied behind the series from day 1 when it was still on NBC.
