It’s been nearly a year since Netflix saved the vanished air drama from NBC’s cancellation Manifestand hopefully it will soon be time to reconnect with the passengers of Flight 828 when the fourth and final season premieres on the streamer. Although Netflix initially decided not to resume the series after the cancellation, the powers that be changed their mind thanks to Manifest’s stellar viewership numbers on the platform. Now, executive Jinny Howe explains why the drama fits the streaming service so well.
Jinny Howe, Netflix’s Director of Drama Development, spoke with Term on many of the platform’s most popular dramas, including a fan favorite Manifest. Howe admitted that while the series may not seem a good fit for his Originals library, there are many aspects that prove the twisted mystery is the right choice for the streamer. In his words:
I think Manifest is a really fun show that has so many different entry points and a great cast of characters. It might be a show you wouldn’t normally expect from a Netflix drama, but to us it feels like the best of its kind, a character-based hybrid show. For me, what I really love is seeing how many different conversations fans spend all of their time talking about the end of the show and how people come back and look for clues again; it’s all really, really fun, and I think it’s really getting more and more people to watch the show.
Manifest Being saved from cancellation by Netflix was certainly a highlight for TV fans in 2021, and it certainly helped that the first three seasons seemed to get the same attention on the streaming service as they did on NBC. Premature cancellations are always difficult, although they make any possible revival that much more celebratory and with so many fans watching. Manifest and keeping the theories and conversations going puts it in the same space as other Netflix hits like Strange things Yes the Umbrella Academy. It will also be nice not to have to wait a full week between each new episode, not to mention the break between each part.
It is also interesting to hear how Jinny Howe talks about herself and the love of others Manifest in the industry, noting that creator Jeff Rake confessed that he mostly knew things were bad at NBC simply because network peers weren’t saying anything about it creatively, with only the financial details posted. At the moment, that doesn’t seem to be the case with Netflix.
Not much information has emerged about the upcoming fourth and final season, which will be split into two parts. Netflix has released a special preview of Manifest Season 4 during Geeked Week earlier this summer, and there will also be some big announcements this weekend for 828 Day, named after the theft in Manifest. But without the streaming service confirming anything, it’s just a rumor for now.
Meanwhile, the filming of season 4 of Manifest It has been happening for a while now. Jeff Rake warned fans to be prepared by sharing a shot from a funeral shoot. Of course, he never revealed who the funeral belonged to or when it would take place, so viewers should probably have handkerchiefs on hand.
