The tragically cancelled series of a few years ago - that it is now streaming on the new Disney plus channel Star....

Is this the episodes are being reshoot or that there is a new series?
Can barely breathe, am holding my breath in anticipation of a response.............

BlackBucketOfCheese · 25/02/2021 09:39

Oooooh spill

Pieceofpurplesky · 25/02/2021 09:41

It was soooo good

PseudoBadger · 25/02/2021 09:43

No no just the original series. But I haven't seen it since so am very happy!

If you enjoyed Flashforward I can also recommend the series Manifest!

PseudoBadger · 25/02/2021 09:43

Sorry to get you excited

This was the best series ever. Thanks OP definitely a flash forward binge this weekend. Was gutted they cancelled it after series 1.

Yes!! Manifest was great and binge watched both series over a few nights. Can't wait for a new series of that.
DarceyDashwood · 25/02/2021 09:47

Loved flashforward and agree about Manifest! Can’t wait for the new series of that!

PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears · 25/02/2021 09:54

Oooh I loved Flash Forward! If you liked that, you'd have liked The 4400.

And if you liked Manifest I can recommend Emergence.

I'm currently watching Lost again with DS, but will watch Flash Forward after that.

I got way too excited at the title of this thread, OP!
My husband and I regularly talk about Flash Forward as being one of the big disappointments of our time. It had so much potential. Much like the crushing disappointment of the end of Heroes, Dexter and the whole of El Camino.
I did notice that FF was on Disney Star and told my husband and he was flabbergasted that I would even consider watching it again. I might watch it on my own then!

NorthernChinchilla · 25/02/2021 10:05

Thank you so much OP! We watched this, and literally beginning of this week I was desperately trying- and failing- to remember what it was called. We've just got Disney + so that's our weekend sorted Smile

PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears · 25/02/2021 10:12

Someone tell me about Disney. Is it a channel on Sky or an extra pay for platform like Netflix, Prime and Apple TV? How much is it? Maybe there's a free month in which I can watch FlashForward then cancel!

£5.99 per month, although rising to £7.99 soon.

Can get a weeks free trial so plenty of time to binge on a full series.

and if you run out of time use your spouse's email and card details for another week trial!

ohh, so I get yo finally see the last episode that I missed last time.
or re-watch the whole thing with the teens.

SingToTheSky · 25/02/2021 10:23

I’m so excited about this - I saw the name on the post they put on fb. DH and I started watching it when it was first on but we didn’t have any catch up tv then, so we quickly lost track. Definitely going to watch it soon!

KrisAkabusi · 25/02/2021 10:36

I read the book after watching the series. It was very different!
SPOILERS for the book:

For a start, the Flash is 23 years into the future, which changes the whole premise. And the story takes place over thousands of years!

NachoNachoMan

Thank you Smile

Cornettoninja · 25/02/2021 10:46

I didn’t know there was a book @KrisAkabusi. Thank you - that’s DP’s next present!

It was the same with world war Z and I am legend in that the book/story was dramatically different (and better).

NachoNachoMan · 25/02/2021 10:51

@PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears

No probs. What channel/subscription are you watching Emergence on?

HelloViroids · 25/02/2021 11:12

SPOILERS TO FOLLOW

But the ending! The ridiculous cliff hanger that was so unresolved for ever more... I don’t think I can’t put myself through it again!

Sky. I've just looked and it's available on demand.

I am legend wasn’t dramatically different from the book, it was very similar until the woman arrived, she is very different in the movie to how she was in the book and that change changes the ending of the film significantly, the ending is dramatically different and it does change the whole premise of the story, but the twist is what causes that change, they chose to give the movie a Disney ending rather than the true ending, which is very common for book adaptations unfortunately.

I was very disappointed with the way the film chose to go because I love the book, IMO I could have been up there with the matrix and blade runner as classic ‘what even is humanity/life’ movies.

Cornettoninja · 25/02/2021 11:32

I think changing the ending is pretty dramatic given how it was changed 🤷‍♀️
