More info  Manifest fans have been through a hard time following the news of the shows cancellation by NBC after the release of season four. Netflix has the rights to stream the series in the US and the ratings have kept it on the number one spot for a number of weeks. After releasing season four of Manifest, NBC made the announcement the show would not return for season five. The show was originally intended to last for six seasons, with the series' abrupt end leaving fans hoping for a renewal. Hope came from Netflix, which has a history of reviving struggling franchises and giving them new life. Netflix did this with Lucifer, acquiring the show at season four and pushing it forward to being one of the most popular series on the platform.

Manifest maintained its number one spot on the platform until the release of Virgin River season three on July 10. Despite Virgin River knocking Manifest from the top of the Netflix US charts, the show isnt slowing down as it pushes for some record-breaking figures. According to Forbes, Manifest is on track to be Netflixs most popular show based on several key factors. Manifest: Netflix have not renewed the show  Manifest remained at number one for 28 consecutive days, a number only beaten by Ginny & Georgia, which hit 29 days. Factoring in a show's placement on the charts, bringing in the amount of time and specific ratings, Forbes awarded the show 306 points. This puts the show on the same level as Ginny & Georgia and ahead of many other Netflix shows such as Tiger King, The Queen's Gambit, and Outer Banks. Manifest also held first or second place on the charts for 31 straight days since its debut, a record no other show has reached. Factoring all this together, the show reaches the fourth position on Forbes list of most popular shows, only being beaten out by Who Killed Sara, Bridgerton and Ginny & Georgia, respectively.

Despite Manifest being cancelled and Netflix currently not renewing the show for season five, showrunner Jeff Rake has plans to save the series. During a conversation with Charles Thorp on Twitter Spaces, Rake talked about his hopes to wrap up the story of Manifest. The Manifest creator explained: "I would love to finish the story and look, I'm going to take some time. "I'm going to hold out hope that maybe somebody will step-up and help us finish that story  whether that means more episodes, whether that means a final kind of movie like they did with the show Firefly, or a lot of people have asked me 'write the book'. That's a cool concept but it's a major endeavour and I'm going to think about it.  Trending
