A History Of Manifest

The story of Manifest revolves around the 191 passengers of Montego Air Flight 828 who attempt to reintegrate into society after being declared dead. However, disturbing facts emerge that upset them.

The show has three seasons, and the story has evolved over the years. The show added new characters and new themes. However, the show started with around 12 million viewers, but by the time it reached season 3, the viewership significantly dropped in numbers.

Manifest originally aired on NBC, but after the drop in audience, it was launched on Netflix, and voila! This trick helped save the show as it quickly made its way on Netflix’s top 10 charts. So, seeing how popular the show is, Netflix finally announced Manifest season 4.

When Is Manifest Coming Back

The question on everyone’s mind is when is Manifest coming back. We might not have a completely solid answer to that, but we can tell you a release window for the show. It is coming back later this year.

As per some insider news, we expect to see Manifest this year in winter. In response to a fan on Twitter, Matt Long, who plays Zeke, stated that the fourth season of the show will most likely not premiere until the “fall/winter” of 2022.

Meanwhile, creator Rake responded to Stephen King’s question on the return of Manifest by commenting: “I’m hearing November.” So, you can expect a November/December release for Manifest.

We don’t exactly have a fully-fledged trailer for Manifest Season 4, but we do have a sneak peek or a teaser for it. This teaser, released during Netflix Geeked Week, offered us our first look at season 4.

You can go ahead and watch this teaser and hope that Netflix drops the official trailer very soon.

Possible Storyline Of Manifest Season 4

Since this is going to be the last season, creator Jeff Rake will have to cram his three planned seasons’ worth of narrative into these final 20 episodes. In an interview, he stated: “I am absolutely confident that 20 episodes give me enough time to tell the entirety of the story as I always intended to.”

So, he won’t be changing a lot of his originally planned storyline. Moreover, another confirmed news states that Manifest Season 4 will feature a time jump of two years. Josh Dallas (Ben Stone) stated, “We begin the next season two years from where we left off season 3. So, we’ve moved ahead in time.”

Speaking of Ben, the creator has also revealed some information regarding this character. He has said, “A Season 4 of Manifest for Ben is absolutely centered around processing, digesting, coming to emotional terms with such an unspeakable loss, and then trying to find a way to seek vengeance, to kind of justify the act in terms of finding some meaning out of it.”

A sneak peek revealed through Jeff Rake’s Twitter shows a picture of a funeral. Fans were quick to jump to conclusions. Some believed it would be Grace’s funeral, while others were “hoping” that it was Angelina. But we will have to wait till Manifest season 4 comes out.
