Netflix Cancels "Messiah" After One Season
Netflix has canceled "Messiah" after one season. The TV series was created by Michael Petroni. The first season consists of ten episodes, which were released on Netflix on January 1, 2020. The series stars Mehdi Dehbi, Tomer Sisley, Michelle Monaghan, John Ortiz, Melinda Page Hamilton, Stefania LaVie Owen, Jane Adams, Sayyid El Alami, Fares Landoulsi and Wil Traval.
Series star Wil Traval shared the news on Instagram, writing, "It's a very sad day today. I have just received news from Netflix that there will be no season 2 of #messiah I wanted to say to all the fans thank you for your support and love. I wish things were different."
According to Variety, Netflix decided not to continue shooting the series because of its many international locations and not feeling comfortable shooting the show given "the current state of things with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic."
"Messiah" depicts peoples' reactions toward an ambiguous Christ-like man claiming to be sent by God. He builds a worldwide following of people from different religious backgrounds, including Jews, Christians and Muslims. What also made the series compelling is that the filmmakers imagine how a secular society might respond to a man claiming to be the Messiah in this day and age.
