Manifest Season 3, Featured Image: Could Netflix Be Considering a ‘Manifest’ Save?

Just days after the show’s Season 3 finale on June 10, NBC decided to cancel Manifest, making it another fan-favorite show the network has recently dropped (along with Zoey’s 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 show’s cancellation. With the show’s ever-growing Netflix success, is it possible the streaming service could bring the show back to life?

8 Questions That Will (Probably) Never Be Answered on 'Manifest'

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. Netflix has done this for other shows, so why not Manifest?

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, it’s 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 show’s streaming popularity continues before announcing a pickup. Will Manifesters ever get to know what really happened to the passengers on Flight 828?

Fans have taken to social media, using the hashtag #SaveManifest to show their love and campaign to bring the show back.

The cast and crew have also expressed their love for the show and disappointment over the cancellation by joining the #SaveManifest movement.

    I am extremely disappointed that commercial networks cancel very popular programs like Manifest. Usually the explanation is that it fails to attract those 18 to 49 because the advertisers are disappointed. First, people over 50 buy products and secondly, who even watches commercials. So they replace entertainment with reality programming and stale game shows that drive me to alternatives like Netflix and Prime.

    I just binge watched all 3 seasons in a week; started on Netflix and then finished S3 on Prime. And then I did a little google search to find out when S4 would begin. (sigh)

    I hope Netflix will take on this show so we can get some closure.

    Why do networks always cancel their top performing shows? Do they hate money? Bring back manifest!

    WTH?? This happened with Jericho and Designated Survivor. The networks keep trash like “90 Day Fiancé” but banish anything that has a decent story line. BS

    This show is absolutely great entertainment. It's engaging and thought provoking. Please Netflix, pick up the last three seasons. It will be great for business!!

    Everybody knows NBC is run by complete morons and $NFLX is a juggernaut. Nobody watches NBC anymore (except for the NFL). If they teamed the brilliant Manifest with their ONLY good show (THIS IS US) - they'd have had a great way to introduce Manifest to more fans for Season 4 and let it take over as its only successful show after This Is Us is gone. But noooo- NBC idiots let it go. I'm 100% positive Netflix will not only bring it back- but increase its budget for an amazing Seasons 4, 5 and 6. NBC can go f- themselves!
