What Happens Next? - 10 MORE Planned Seasons Of Cancelled TV Shows
2. Dark Angel
James Cameron's sci-fi series, Dark Angel, was an instant hit that launched Jessica Alba's career. Alba plays Max; a genetically enhanced human designed by the Manticore corporation. After she escapes thefacility, an EMP decimates the US, destroying most technology. The story cuts ten years into the future to show Max trying to find other people who Manticore experimented on.
In Season 2, Max learned of The Breeding Cult; an assassin-creating faculty far more dangerous than Manticore. When the Cult try to kill her, she escaped to Terminal City. The final episode concludes with the police preparing to invade the city to wipe out its inhabitants.
Executive producer, Charles H. Eglee, stated Season 3 would reveal 97% of humanity was killed millennia ago when the planet was exposed to a comet's radiation. The Breeding Cult formed to locate anyone who had a genetic resistance to the radiation if it returned. One cult member, Sandeman, believed this idea was immoral and so, created genetically-engineered humans through Manticore so they could survive the return of the comet. The comet returns but has no effect on humanity, proving The Breeding Cult's preparation was all for nought.
