Fans of the Manifest TV series are going to get some answers. Netflix has revived the cancelled series for a fourth and final season. It’s worth noting that the show was saved on August 28th since the show revolves around passengers of Flight 828.
An action-drama series, the Manifest TV show stars Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long, and Holly Taylor. After a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers of Flight 828 disembarked to find the world had aged more than five years. Their friends, families, and colleagues had given up hope of ever seeing them again. In season three, faced with the impossible, the passengers’ dreams of a second chance at life evaporated as they encountered imminent dangers surrounding them, both tangible and unexplained.
Manifest ran on NBC for three seasons and drew middling to low ratings. The peacock network pulled the plug in June and Warner Bros. TV tried to find the series a new home but those efforts were fruitless. The show’s fans refused to give up however and Manifest became a top performer for Netflix. The numbers were so good that the streamer decided to give the series another look, despite the fact that the cast’s contracts had all expired (a common roadblock when trying to revive a series).
Today, the streamer officially ordered a fourth and final season of 20 episodes. That will be the series’ largest season episode order to date but it’s unknown if Netflix will release season four in two or more parts.
According to Deadline, Dallas, Roxburgh, and Ramirez have closed deals for the final season while Kaur, Blaise, Messina, and Long are believed to be in negotiations. Long is a series regular on NBC’s drama pilot Getaway but, should that show get a series order, it’s understood that he could still return for more of Manifest.
“Since its premiere on Netflix in June, Manifest has proven very popular with our members. [Series creator] 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,” said Bela Bajaria, head of globe TV, Netflix.
Rake wrote, “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.”
Couldn't let a day as significant as today go uncelebrated.

What do you think? Are you glad to hear that Manifest has been renewed for a fourth and final season on Netflix? Are you disappointed that there won’t be more seasons?
Glad, delighted, transported, exhilarated, excited, delirious, ecstatic, thrilled, elated…in short, tickled pink! Yes and yay!
I’m glad that they are having a last season to tie it all and give a proper ending. But to be honest I was getting so tired of the show. If we had had a drinking game for how many times they say “the callings” we would have died of alcohol poisoning.
Thank you Netflix!! I knew we paying for you years ago was worth it!! I really like Manifest!! I wish there would be more than 4 seasons, though!!! At least, the show will have a closing to it!!!
BEST NEWS EVER! Thank you Netflix!
ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT MANIFEST WAS SAVED BY NETFLIX. NETFLIX YOU ARE THE HERO.
Yeess! Thank GOD. Thank you #Netflix, and #manifesters for fighting for this renewal. Please keep Matt Long…it won’t be the same w/out him.
#SavedManifest
Congratulations
SO. FREAKING. EXCITED!!!!! I was hoping soooo hard for this. I haven’t had Netflix in awhile, let my subscription expire after most of my favorites were taken off the platform, but I will gladly pay for at least a couple months when season 4 premieres!
What bout the people like me who r religious watchers of manifest & don’t get Netflix or can’t afford 2 get it
Ask around, do you have any friends/family that have Netflix? I first got Netflix after posting on Facebook about something being on there I was sad I couldn’t watch and a friend sent me a giftcard I could use for it. Also Netflix users can have multiple ‘profiles’ so if someone you know has it maybe they could allow you temporary access.
I’m a religious Manifest watcher but don’t have, and can’t get WiFi so can’t stream anything. Hopefully, Netflix will release it on DVD in a few years… but, it sure won’t be the same. 🙁
Ask a friend to get you a usb pen with the episodes. 😀
Hallelujah! Thank you Netflix for coming to the rescue when NBC did not have the integrity to do so and for giving this final season 20 episodes. How shameful on the part of NBC since running it on broadcast allows for wider audience viewership since everyone is not able to cover the cost of a streamer. Maybe Netflix will run a Manifest discount special. Can’t wait to see how the story ends.
Way to go Netflix!!!
Excellent that Manifest season 4 will be picked up by Netflix. I just wish that that the powers that be would have allowed the writers original plan and air 6 seasons.
Tecnhically they will get a very similar amout of episodes. This one will have 20 (probably 21), Netflix will cut it into 2 or 3 pieces, so it can hold it for 15 months.
If it’s a 20 episode season, I’m predicting it will be split into two parts. Which may be a good thing, because if the writers have to condense their “6 year plan” for the series into 4 years, they might need to shrink that whole time table down gradually. Also, since it’s Netflix, they can put an hour of programming on without commercials, so that’s 18 -20 minutes more time per episode any way. Looking forward to see what they can do with it… and hey, who knows… Lucifer ran longer on Netflix than they originally planned. Maybe the same… Read more »
Just get rid of all family drama and 20 episodes is enough 🙂
We were left hanging and now we will get some answers! BRAVO Netflix!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss
