10 Infuriating TV Cliffhangers You Didn't Realise Had Answers
4. Justin, Ben & Jonesy All Survive - Carnivàle
Almost 20 years later, HBO's cancellation of the epic drama series Carnivàle still stings fresh, canning it just two seasons into its planned six-season arc.
The second season's final episode left fans to chew over a handful of shocking moments - namely Brother Justin (Clancy Brown) and Ben (Nick Stahl) being both grimly wounded following their climactic fight, while Jonesy's (Tim DeKay) fate is left hanging in the balance after he's shot by Sofie (Clea DuVall).
But a few years after Carnivàle's cancellation, the show's creator Daniel Knauf dropped the veil and detailed what would've become of the trio.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the show's protagonist Ben survived the ordeal, yet decidedly more unexpectedly, despite his grim prognosis the last time we saw him, Brother Justin would've also still been alive.
And then there's Jonesy, who would've additionally survived for season three, having had his life saved by Iris (Amy Madigan).
That's... a pretty unexpected outcome all things considered, and it sucks we'll never get to see everything that Knauf had in store for the show's large roster of characters.
