A series of American series that were supposed to go up or continue for another season - canceled • Among the series: "New World", "The President is Absent" and "The Man of Miracles"
The series: "Glow", "How to Become a God", "Man of Miracles" and "Stamptown"
In the days of the Corona it seems that the only cultural medium that rises and flourishes is television, but even there the Corona does damage.
Since the shooting routine in Hollywood stopped last March, US television networks have been forced to cancel new series that have already been given the green light, as well as take off from the screen series that were supposed to last another season.
For example, the fate of the black comedy "How to Become God" starring Kirsten Dunst, who was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her role, the series was solemnly renewed for a second season in September 2019 and was already in production for filming, but then the Showtime cable network surprisingly announced that the series was canceled, much to the dismay of Dunst who co-produced George Clooney and his business partner Grant the Slob.
The reason is that filming was very delayed due to the corona, and in the meantime some of the actors and crew were already committed to other projects that went into production.
After some finding dates that would suit everyone for the filming - it was decided to cancel the series.

An even more notable cancellation of the Showtime network is of the suspense drama "The President Is Missing," a best-selling adaptation by writer James Patterson and former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
The series has been in development for a long time and is scheduled to air in 2021. The series was announced before Three years, nine months before the book hit stores, the series was already in the early stages of production and the main cast was already cast: Anne David (Aunt Lydia from "The Story of a Slave"), Michael Rocker ("The Walking Dead") and British actor David Iulau ("Salma") ).
But then it was decided to cancel the project due to delays in the schedule that disrupted the plans.
Another recently canceled series is "Stamptown" starring Kobe Smolders ("How I Met Your Mother"), which only a few months ago received the green light for a second season.
The ABC network decided to cancel, among other things, due to a decision to replace the main producer of the series.
This delayed the stages of pre-production and script writing and made the business too expensive.
One of the actors from the series, Michael Eli, has already been cast in a pilot for another series on ABC.
A cancellation notice was also received for the series "Defender on Trial," a television adaptation of a novel by Michael Conley that became a 2011 feature film starring Matthew McConaughey.
The series was marked as one of the safest bets for the current CBS broadcast season, but filming of the pilot episode stopped in the middle with the start of the closure, and CBS decided to cancel the project.
Another series that is not clear what will happen to it is Fox's 911: Texas, which tracks rescue and police forces in Austin.
This is a daughter series of the "Focus 911" series, and she was supposed to return soon for the filming of the second season, but then lead actress Liv Tyler announced that she was leaving the series.
Tyler lives with her family in London and preferred not to return to the US set. The producers added Lisa Edelstein ("House") and Gina Torres ("Suits") to the series in new roles, but it is unclear if the second season will actually take place.

Without exotic locations
Netflix suffered the biggest blow, canceling four existing series due to the Corona.
The first victim was "The Man of Miracles" ("Messia") which was canceled at the end of March after the streaming giant realized that it could not give the green light to such complex photographs in many locations, including Jerusalem and Amman.
By the way, the suspense drama has also received harsh criticism from the Muslim community for its plot, so the Corona may have been a convenient excuse to cancel the series.
In August, Netflix canceled the second seasons of two drama series aimed at young audiences: "That's What I Miss Now" and "New World."
Both series were supposed to continue for a second season, but due to the Corona it was decided to cancel.
Last week, "Glow" was also added to the cauldron, a comedy drama whose three seasons have received rave reviews and 15 nominations for my mother.
The series about women participating in the TV wrestling program, was renewed in September 2019 and has already started filming its fourth season in February, but the delays created problems in the players' schedules and a decision was made to end the series.
