What happens

Miracle Workers is an American anthology comedy television series created by Simon Rich for TBS. It is based in part on Rich's writings, with the first season being based on his 2012 novel What in God's Name, while the short story "Revolution" provided the basis for the second season. The series stars an ensemble cast comprising Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Jon Bass, Karan Soni, Sasha Compère, and Lolly Adefope. The show was a co-production between TBS and FX, whose in-house production company FXP was involved. Miracle Workers premiered on February 12, 2019, with its seven-episode first season. A second season, subtitled Dark Ages, premiered in January 2020, and a third season, subtitled Oregon Trail, premiered in July 2021. In November 2021, the series was renewed for a fourth season, subtitled End Times, which premiered on July 10, 2023. In November 2023, the series was cancelled after four seasons.
