![]() TV also includes the existing three seasons of Manifest, which are currently available on Netflix in the U.S. The Manifest actors all participated in the #SaveManifest campaign which helped keep the show at the top of the Netflix streaming rankings - and ultimately bring it back from the dead. TV is not commenting but I hear that the new deals for the cast, whose original contracts expired in June, include sizable pay increases. (Long is also a series regular on the NBC drama pilot Getaway with one-year that could allow him to also do Manifest subject to synching up dates but that is still very much up in the air.) Ramirez also is believed to be set, while Parveen Kaur remains in negotiations, along with some or all of the remaining series regulars: Luna Blaise, Matt Long and Jack Messina. I hear stars Josh Dallas and Melissa Roxburgh have closed deals for the final season. TV earlier this month started negotiations with the cast to return in addition to reaching out to writers who had worked on the show and new ones about joining executive produced/showrunner Rake for Season 4. As is customary for series on Netflix, the 20-episode season will be split into multiple parts.Īs Deadline previously reported, in anticipation of closing the agreement with Netflix, Manifest lead studio Warner Bros. ![]() It’s no wonder that series creator Jeff Rake - who’s envisioned and planned the series for a six-season run - is still urging viewers to keep the faith because he wants to find a way to wrap up the show for viewers in some shape or form, although a formal season pick-up anywhere doesn’t seem to be in the cards.The final season of Manifest, created by Jeff Rake, will be comprised of 20 episodes. The missing plane drama had long been conceived by creator Jeff Rake as a six-season series, and fans had been pushing it to the top of Netflix’s rankings since it recently began airing Season 1 and Season 2.įor comparison’s sake, Manifest ended up being the most popular show streaming on Netflix since Bridgerton and Cobra Kai. Manifest at 2.49 billion minutes ballooned from 1.11B viewing minutes the previous week, an increase likely to be noted by Netflix, which eventually opted not to order a fourth season following the show’s NBC ax. That’s far different than the way Netflix calculates views, which is to log a few minutes from a user and count it as “a view.” Yet Nielsen’s quantifying the matter and says that the cancellation apparently prompted a doubling in viewing minutes from the week before the announcement. According to Deadline, the week after NBC cancelled the show (that would be June 14-20) saw staggering numbers to the tune of 2.5 billion viewing minutes. Well, the streaming numbers reflect the show’s rabidly enthusiastic audience. ![]() Still, fans have been hell-bent upon saving the series, even though it’s an objectively bad show that made little sense from week to week. Actually, the fact that the show was sitting at #1 on Netflix’s most popular list during its week of cancellation says a lot, despite Netflix still saying, “Nah” to making a fourth season. I recently thought about Manifest while on a 10-hour plane delay (travel is obviously a mess these days) and thought, well, “At least I’m not doing a five-year time-travel thing here.” That little anecdote is nothing compared to the amount of attention that Netflix viewers devoted to Manifest during the week that NBC cancelled the sci-fi drama after three messy seasons.
