(NBC)

After a very strong premiere, the first season ratings for Manifest saw a steep decline. NBC could have easily cancelled the show but it was renewed for a second season (albeit a shorter one). Will the ratings improve in season two or, will they continue to fall? Will Manifest be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

A supernatural drama, Manifest stars Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, and Matt Long. 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. Now, faced with the impossible, the passengers’ dreams of a second chance at life evaporate as they encounter imminent dangers surrounding them, both tangible and unexplained.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
