Manifest was cancelled by NBC earlier this week, but the series could still be saved by a streaming service. Netflix is seen as a possibility because of how well the mystery drama has performed since seasons one and two began streaming on the service last week. Manifest has topped Netflix’s Top 10 list since its release.
When the cancellation news was announced, the cast, creator, and the writer’s room staff all took to social media to start a #savemanifest campaign. Deadline has now revealed that Netflix and Warner Bros TV are in talks to save the drama which stars Josh Dallas, Melissa Roxburgh, JR Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, and Matt Long.
The drama follows the survivors of a plane that goes missing for five years and then miraculously returns. Jeff Rake, the creator of the series, has always been clear that he has a six-season plan for the series, and he is hopeful that Netflix will allow him to follow through on that vision. The streaming service has saved another cancelled Warner Bros TV series, Lucifer, so that adds to the hope.
Check out the tweets the cast and creator of the series have been sending out since the cancellation news broke.

What do you think? Would you watch new seasons of Manifest if they landed on Netflix? Are you hoping for a fourth season?
Yes I would. Would watch it for 3 more seasons. If HBO picked it up I’d renew my subscription. Seemed like GOT got more viewers as the show progressed even though the writing got worse.
I absolutely would. I’ve been watching since the show started. Everything about it is beyond fantastic and professional, from acting, producing, directing, special effects. One could not ask for more. It’s the best show I’ve watched in years.
Yes, I would subscribe to Netflix to find out how the series ends. NBC shame on you for leaving everyone hanging.
I would definitely watch Manifest on Netflix.
Well thought out drama I try not to fall for these types of shows but you got me hook line and sinker ….. plsease keep the series going at least for one more round .. maybe 2
This is all kinds of good news! If a writer/creator says they have a full story arc, give them the platform to tell it! J. Michael Strazinsky proved it with his 5 year Babylon 5 story arc. Respect the writers!
i would like it to be on regular tv or cable
Love The Show MANIFEST. One of the Best shows on Television.
Netflix should become the number 1 source for shows that want to survive, Manifest is a good show and hopefully they will give them the chance to finish the story.
It’s been the #1 show on Netflix Canada the entire last week and we don’t even have season 3 yet. Clearly the demand is there.
I would love a full 6 season commitment They left us hanging after a 2 hour finale I noticed a lot of networks of pulling shows rebel was another one that should have never been pulled from ABC another disappointment
Another favorite of my was American House Wife from ABC.. They should have at least one more season of AHW. We will also watch Manifest on NetFlix
Manifest grabbed me in the first 10 minutes and won’t let go. Please continue through the 6 seasons that was intended to tell this whole show. I am so hooked and thoroughly involved in all these characters.
I have cable but would subscribe to Netflix also for manifest season 4
I would be happy if they get in for one more and final season and finally explain everything.
PLEASE!!! Please Netflix, we *need* at least one more season (but hopefully three more?), this show can’t possibly end like that. So much about the season 3 finale needs closure and dealing with, please save Manifest!
I fell in love with this series I do hope to see more Netflix you got this ……..
