Netflix has confirmed that the fourth season of Manifest is coming! Drama fans have been keeping a careful check on which streaming service could possibly save the day and bring the show back to life ever since its cancellation.
Manifest was released on Netflix in June of 2021, just in time for the season 3 finale of NBC’s Manifest to premiere. For at least two months, the show was one of the most popular on Netflix.
How the Journey of Manifest Begin
Let’s take a look back at how we got to Manifest season 4 before we move forward.
The tale of Manifest began in 2018 with the broadcast of the pilot episode of NBC’s series Flight 828. The series captivated audiences, and it was NBC’s 9th-highest-rated show that year. NBC authorized a second and third season, but the show’s popularity had dwindled significantly by then.
Averaging 12.61 million viewers in season 1, the show’s viewership decreased by more than half by the time season 3 aired, according to early estimates.
Manifest was doomed by the summer of 2021, and that’s when the Netflix chronology begins.
Manifest was canceled by NBC on June 10th, 2021, shortly after the season 3 finale aired. Seasons 1-2 of the television series were licensed to Netflix on June 10th, 2021, possibly as a last-ditch effort to increase the show’s visibility.
Is there a fourth season of Manifest in the works?
The fourth season of Manifest is now in the works! Because of Flight 828, the day has been dubbed 828 Day by fans. For the occasion, we had high hopes that Netflix would bring us excellent news. We were right! According to a press announcement put out on 828 Day, the show will be returning for a final season.
If Netflix and NBC can get Warner Bros. TV to preserve Manifest, they can bring back season 4 as well, Deadline reported back in July, citing a source familiar with the situation. According to Deadline, Netflix was in talks with the show’s creators and cast in August to bring back, save, and order Manifest season 4.
Netflix made the announcement that it had saved Manifest quickly.
Which cast will return for Manifest Season 4?
- Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone
- Josh Dallas as Ben Stone
- J. R. Ramirez as Jared Vasquez
- Luna Blaise as Olive Stone
- Parveen Kaur as Saanvi Bahl
- Matt Long as Zeke Landon

What is the Expected Release Date
Season 4 of Manifest does not have a release date, practically speaking. A statement from Netflix has not yet been issued to confirm this, although series creator Jeff Rake revealed it on Twitter in February 2022. Rake made the announcement while responding to a tweet from novelist Stephen King. Manifest is expected to return in November 2022. Although it’s major news to share so casually, his admirers are ecstatic!
There will be a total of 20 episodes in Season 4, although they will be released in more than 2 parts.
The following are Rake’s thoughts on the plot of Manifest Season 4
“I walked [Netflix] through a bunch of twists and turns, I’ve always had a bunch of big flags in the sand — things that would happen along the way. But the excellent news is that they’re now going to be able to see them all play out in real-time because the 20 episodes that I have been gifted allow me to take the entire roadmap that I already had planned out in front of me and overlay that over these 20 episodes. Fundamentally, I’m going to be able to continue telling the story that I was always going to tell.”
Here are the enthusiastic reactions of the fans:
