Could Netflix Bring Back Manifest for Season 4?
Just days after the shows Season 3 finale on June 10, NBC decided to cancel Manifest, making it another fan-favorite show the network has recently dropped (along with Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist and Debris). After Netflix added Seasons 1 and 2 of Manifest on June 10, it quickly rose to the #1 spot on the Netflix Top 10 list and has remained there even after news of the shows cancellation. Netflix is no stranger to bringing network shows back from the dead. Lucifer was picked up by Netflix for three more seasons after being canceled by Fox in 2018. That same year, Designated Survivor was canceled by ABC but returned on Netflix for a third and final season. More shows, like Arrested Development, Full House, and Gilmore Girls also had a second life through Netflix revivals and reboots. In an interview with Collider in 2018, Manifest series creator Jeff Rake stated that he had envisioned a six-year plan for the show. More recently, he told TV Insider that there are many seasons to come for this show, and with so much more story to tell, Netflix has the opportunity to give fans the closure they need. Of course, its been less than a week since NBC axed the series and Netflix could take its time to make a decision, waiting to see if the shows streaming popularity continues before announcing a pickup. Fans have taken to social media, using the hashtag #SaveManifest to show their love and campaign to bring the show back. I just finished the last episode of #manifest and it absolutely CANNOT end this way! Please I have not watched this show for 3 years for it to end like THAT!!! #SaveManifest!!!!!

My dear Manifesters, Im devastated by NBCs decision to cancel us. That weve been shut down in the middle is a gut punch to say the least. Hoping to find a new home. You the fans deserve an ending to your story. Thanks for the love shown to me, cast, and crew. #savemanifest  Jeff Rake (@jeff_rake) June 15, 2021  Hi beautiful manifesters.
