NBC Cancels Supernatural Drama ‘Manifest’

NBC has opted against a fourth season of supernatural drama “Manifest”, which ironically has ranked No. 1 in the U.S. for the past three days on Netflix. Debuting in September 2018 and originally pitched as a six season entry, “Manifest” from Warner Bros. Television and Universal TV follows the crew and passengers of a commercial plane who suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for five years. As they reintegrate into society, the passengers discover that their family members and friends are not the same as before — and neither are they, as the begin to experience visions of the future, also known as “callings.”

The producers of “Manifest” are currently in search of a new home, with its strong initial showing on Netflix all the more reason to believe that streaming service is a potential option.

“Manifest” creator Jeff Rake tweeted, “I’m devastated by NBC’s decision to cancel us. That we’ve been shut down in the middle is a gut punch to say the least. Hoping to find a new home.”
