Rake told Entertainment Weekly in June 2021, “There is a huge appetite for people wanting to know what’s that end of the story, what happened to the passengers, what ultimately happened to that airplane.” He’ll have 20 episodes to feed that appetite. While Manifest abruptly ended on cliffhangers, its creator now has a chance to tie up some loose ends.
MANIFEST SEASON 4 SERIES
With the plane drama returning for a final season, here’s everything to know about Manifest Season 4, including what loose ends the series will have to resolve. (A series that shares a similar fan-enabled revival is Lucifer, which Netflix picked up after fans trended #SaveLucifer and #PickUpLucifer on Twitter.)

The show even amassed 2.5 billion viewing minutes the week it was canceled by NBC, so the renewal didn’t necessarily come as a surprise. Though it’s rare for a canceled show to get picked up again, Netflix is known for giving shows a second life thanks to its famed “ Netflix Bump.” When Manifest dropped on the streaming platform, it peaked as the top-watched media for the service for weeks. 28, 2021 (8/28, just like the plane, of course), Netflix announced it had renewed the show for a fourth and final season. That’s where Netflix stepped in to resuscitate yet another series. More than 95,000 fans affixed their signatures to the petition to #SaveManifest and many also took to social media to contest the cancellation. The June 2021 cancellation - which came despite NBC’s six-season deal with creator Jeff Rake - prompted fans (aka Manifesters) to create a petition for the show’s renewal. How did turbulence cause a five-year time freeze? What are “callings,” and who are they really from? And where exactly did Montego Air Flight 828 disappear to for half a decade? All questions fans fervently demanded answers for. When NBC abruptly canceled supernatural plane drama Manifest after just three seasons, viewers were left with burning questions about the fate of Montego Air Flight 828 and its 191 passengers.
