I literally had that happen to me about the same topic! Now I’m like oh shit sorry lemme just…not…

Is there going to be more of that show?

I had to look it up because I knew the story felt...unfinished? They had 3 episodes up last year, and the news article I found says the final two will air in 2022.

Just as The Way Down director Marina Zenovich was finishing off the documentary, the story took a dramatic turn. On May 29, 2021, Shamblin and her husband William Joseph “Joe” Lara were in a single-pilot jet plane which crashed into a lake near Nashville, Tennessee. Everyone on board was killed, including Shamblin, Lara (who was flying the plane), and five church members.

According to The New York Times, the crash complicated the docuseries, in part because many more people were suddenly willing to speak to the filmmakers. These included “former congregants who said they had previously been unwilling to go against the church publicly because they still had family members who are affiliated, and relatives of those killed in the crash who were skeptical of the church and now felt compelled to share their stories.”Reply
