‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ Canceled After Two Seasons As Creator Rallies to Save the Show
In an unexpected announcement for fans, NBC has officially canceled Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist after two seasons. There was talk of transitioning it to Peacock for its third season, but that plan didn’t come to fruition.
However, there’s still discussion of getting it picked up by another network. Austin Winsberg, the creator, took to Twitter to try and rally the fans to get the hashtag #saveZoeysplaylist trending.
Okay. Here we are. The news is out. NBC/Peacock have decided not to go forward with another season. We can discuss that later. But right now I refuse to believe the show is dead. There is too much love and goodwill and the fan base is incredible. Now here is what I need.

The musical dramedy follows Jane Levy as Zoey, a computer coder who miraculously wakes up wielding the strange power of being in tune with the feelings of those around her, through song.
Alongside Levy, it boasts other large names like Skylar Astin, Alex Newall, Mary Steenburgen, Alice Lee, Lauren Graham, and John Clarence Stewart.
It remained one of the last shows on NBC to await its renewal or cancellation fate. Manifest and Good Girls are still waiting for the news about their future, which will likely come once their respective seasons come to a close. Manifest airs its season 3 finale tomorrow, June 10, while Good Girls will wrap up later this summer.
Winsberg created the show as a personal tribute to his father who passed away from a rare neurological disorder similar to that of Zoey’s father. And in a show that connected with the world on a personal level through basic human emotions– love and grief –we’re sad to have to say goodbye to an amazing cast and series.
But, perhaps it doesn’t have to be goodbye, and maybe we can make it a “see you later.” After all, it’s not a want, it’s a necessity. The fans deserve an answer to the show’s biggest cliffhanger. What will Max do with his new power?!
So don’t hesitate, unite, and go hashtag the heck on Twitter.
Manifest will not fly again.
Netflix has officially passed on renewing the Manifest, according to Deadline.
The plane drama was abruptly canceled after three seasons leaving fans with absolutely no answers as to what led to the disappearance of Flight 828.
It’s a surprising move considering the series has been steadily holding at #1 after being added to Netflix.
Fans also rallied on social media with the #SaveManifest campaign, but sadly, all efforts were unsuccessful.
Sources say that since Netflix opted to pass on saving the drama, Warner Bros. Television, the studio responsible for the series, has concluded efforts to rehome it as it’s reportedly too complicated with rights and cast contracts.
For now, reps for Netflix and WBTV declined to comment.
However, it seems to be a done deal as series creator Jeff Rake seemed to confirm the solemn news tweeting: “Manifest Gratitude, Final Edition Thank YOU, our fans. You became the Manifesters at Comic-Con 2018. Ever since, you’ve watched religiously, parsed every word, cried a lot, laughed a little, puzzle-solved, and never, ever, wavered in your support. I’ll never forget it.”

The third season ended early this month with several cliffhangers, which makes this cancellation and failed rescue mission all the more heartbreaking.
It’s unclear if NBC is totally against giving the series a wrap-up movie as it did with Timeless, but man, don’t fans deserve closure?
The series was initially pitched as a six-season drama, which means there’s plenty more story to tell.
Even Rake agreed that fans deserve answers. After all, we didn’t spend three years of our lives tuning in weekly to find out what happened to the plane just to be left hanging.
We all know what happens to those who ignore Callings — it’s not good.
James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther, the Central Perk manager on the classic sitcom Friends, opened up about his Stage 4 Prostate Cancer on the Today show Monday morning.
After receiving the grim diagnosis in September 2018, the then 56-year-old actor was put on hormone therapy. It worked for a while before eventually spreading to his spine leaving him paralyzed in his lower body.
He revealed that he’s “been dealing with that diagnosis for almost the past three years…It’s stage 4 [now] late-stage cancer. So eventually, you know, it’s probably going to get me.”

During the recent HBO Max Friends reunion, Tyler had originally planned on attending in person but chose to join virtually, so as to not bring a downer on the happy moment.
“It was bittersweet, honestly. I was very happy to be included,” he said.
Now, he’s using his platform as a way to provide the important message to all men to get screened early, saying that “there are other options available to men if they catch it before me. Next time you go in for just a basic exam or yearly check-up, please ask your doctor for a PSA test.”
“I don’t want people to have to go through what I’ve been going through,” he said. “This is not…an easy process.”
