Netflix Picks Up MANIFEST For Fourth and Final 20 Episode Season
The NBC canceled series Manifest was just picked up by Netflix and they will produce the show’s fourth and final season. It was also announced that it will consist of 20 episodes, which is more than any one season received on NBC.
I just barely started watching Manifest and I’m only a couple of episodes in so far, but I’m enjoying it! So many people have been telling me to watch it, so… I’m watching it! Thankfully, fans of the show will actually get to see a proper conclusion to the story.
The series follows various “passengers from fictional flight Montego Air 828 who experience a severe bout of turbulence while flying from Jamaica to New York City, only when they land, they learn that five and a half years actually passed — and they have returned with the special ability to see glimpses of events to come.”
Bela Bajaria, head of globe TV, Netflix said in a statement, “Since its premiere on Netflix in June, Manifest has proven very popular with our members. Jeff Rake and his team have crafted a beguiling mystery that has viewers around the world on the edge of their seats and believing again in second chances, and we’re thrilled that they will bring fans some closure with this final super-sized season.”
Producer Jeff Rake added, “What started years ago as a flight of fancy deep in my imagination has evolved into the jet engine journey of a lifetime. Never in my wildest dreams could I have envisioned the worldwide outpouring of love and support for this story, its characters, and the team who work so hard to bring it all to life. That we will be able to reward the fans with the ending they deserve moves me to no end. On behalf of the cast, the crew, the writers, directors, and producers, thank you to Netflix, to Warner Bros., and of course to the fans. You did this.”
Robert Zemeckis is also an executive producer on the series. I assume that the original cast will return to reprise their roles, but that has yet to be confirmed. The series stars Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J. R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long and Holly Taylor.
Are you excited to learn that Manifest is coming back for one more season!?
