Netflix picks up NBC’s ‘Manifest’ for fourth season
    2021-08-30  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

NETFLIX has picked up “Manifest” for a fourth and final season 10 weeks after NBC canceled the drama.

The streamer has also announced that this upcoming new season will consist of 20 episodes, which is more than any one season received on NBC. The first consisted of 16 episodes, while the second and third consisted of 13 episodes each. Whether all 20 are released at once or in multiple parts was not announced.

“Manifest” follows various passengers from fictional flight Montego Air 828 who experience a severe bout of turbulence while flying from Jamaica to New York City, only when they land, they learn that five and a half years actually passed — and they have returned with the special ability to see glimpses of events to come.

“Since its premiere on Netflix in June, ‘Manifest’ has proven very popular with our members. 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.

“Manifest” first premiered on NBC in September 2018 and ran for three seasons on the broadcast network, with its most recent one aired its finale June 10. Four days later, NBC announced that it would not be granting the series a fourth season. The third season averaged approximately 3.1 million total live viewers, making it the 11th highest-rated scripted series NBC had during the 2020-21 television season.

After leaving the story on a traditional end of season cliffhanger, Rake, who created the series, had a desire to keep the show going, and audience support seconded that on social media.

Returning cast has not yet been confirmed, but thus far the show has starred Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J. R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long and Holly Taylor. (SD-Agencies)
