The road to the 4 season manifest on Netflix
Before we look into the future, let’s look at the road to the Manifest season 4.
Story Manifest began in 2018 when 828 flights departed in the pilot episode in NBC. The series-grasped viewer became the top 9th place in NBC. NBC ordered the second and third seasons but substantial explosion models.
Season 1 reportedly has an average of 12.61 million viewers who dropped more than half the 3 season began to be aired.
In the summer of 2021, the writing is on the wall for Manifes and this is where the Timeline with Netflix starts.
NBC canceled the show shortly after season 3 finale manifest aired on June 10, 2021. In the possibility of a trench last effort to provide exposure again, Warner Brothers Television (which is the main owner of this event) Netflix on June 10, 2021 when it was first reported.
After the first two shows fell on Netflix in the United States and Canada, the event took off. Netflix’s Top 10 is the first initial indication that the show resonates with him appearing in the top 10 for weeks.
On September 17, 2021 The Show has been placed in the top 10 US for 94 days and 78 days in Canada.
Many articles emerged about how manifes were the biggest performances in the US for the summer (even though it had been debated) it was enough to make the ball rolled around for a revival.
Since the revival of the performance, Netflix has revealed that between June 27 and September 12, 1-3 season has watched at least 214,520,000 million hours only in the United States and Canada.
After weeks and months back and forth (and many people’s records in that talks ongoing on the deadline) the agreement was finally beaten and the last season arranged was announced on August 28, 2021.
The third season added to Netflix on August 21, 2021 with Canada immediately followed.
The deep part of Hollywood reporter provides more context around cancellation and renewal and reveals that 25 million have checked the show at Netflix within 28 days.
Some of the main sticky points for Netflix take global rights and ensure the players can return with the majority of Cast contracts have expired.
That’s where we move to what we know so far about season 4.
Everything We Know So Far About Manifest Season 4
Looking back to the announcement on August 28th that the series had been revived, a bunch of key details was revealed.
Let’s recap those now:
- Season 4 will consist of 20 episodes however will release in 2 or more parts.
- Netflix will release the fourth season exclusively globally.
- Netflix will acquire global rights to the previous three seasons (expected to arrive by the end of 2021).
- Hulu and Peacock will lose the show in late September 2021.
- Season 4 will be the final season of Manifest.
- No production schedule has been announced.
- Jeff Rake will continue showrunning duties for the final season.
- Executive producers for the new season include Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke, Jacqueline Levine, and Len Goldstein.
- Warner Brothers Television, Compari Entertainment, Netflix Productions and Universal Television are the production companies behind the show.
In the Hollywood Reporter article, Jeff Rake gave us an indication as to what we can expect from season 4 referring to the final 20 episodes as “incredibly visual”.
Some have speculated that we could experience a time jump in season 4. That could make sense given that the series will eventually coincide with the death date in 2024.
That could be referring to the bump in the budget the series is getting for season 4. According to Puck News, the budget for each episode is increasing by a million each from $4 to $5 million.
Speaking about the story we can expect, Rake said:
“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 allows 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.”
What cast members will appear in Manifest Season 4
One of the big issues surrounding renewal as we stated above was getting the cast on board.
In an interview with AllYourScreens ahead of the Netflix renewal, Jeff Rake when asked about the cast contracts said:
“In the weeks following the cancellation, the studio asked for the actors for a several week extension so they could shop around and see whether anyone wanted to pick up the show. And all of the actors were kind enough to do for a couple of more weeks. And then we got to a point where no one was immediately stepping up, and at this point, those contracts have expired.
So right now, those actors are out there as free agents. So that’s just one more hurdle we would have to overcome should we find our partner to continue producing the show.”
Josh Dallas, J.R. Ramirez and Melissa Roxburgh are two first members of the actor confirmed to return.
On September 9, Parveen Kaur, Luna Blaise and Holly Taylor were confirmed to return. In addition, Ty Doran is promoted to the regular season.
On September 10, it was reported that Daryl Edwards who played Director of NSA Robert Vance was promoted into a regular series.
The main departure for the show has so far become Jack Messina who plays the role of Cal. It was released from the fact that it was reported that Cal was negotiating.
Although Matt Old initially had a scheduling conflict because of his appearance in the new NBC pilot, vacation. TVLES reported that Matt Long would be in the fourth season with Jeff Rake told his back outlet that would allow “Zeke to complete his manifest journey at all intended.”
Manifest Season 4 Episode Titles
No episode titles have been revealed just yet although we did get a first look at the “Blue Revision” of episode 401 which was shared with the infamous glasses known to long-time fans of the show.
- Episode 401 – TBD – Written by Jeff Rake and Simran Baidwan – Directed by Romeo Tirone.
Why Netflix is finishing the show and not continuing it beyond season 4
One question you may have is why Netflix is renewing the show simply to only give it a single season (which could be construed to Netflix simply renewing and instantly canceling).
According to the aforementioned Hollywood Reporter article Jeff Rake “presented Netflix executives with three different options to wrap up the show” which were “A two-hour movie, a six-episode limited series or full season.”
Many will know Jeff Rake originally planned the show to run for 6 seasons and Netflix’s expanded season will get the show relatively close.
When will Manifest season 4 be on Netflix globally?
Manifest Season 4 is not going to be on Netflix all at once. Not only will it release in two halves it also won’t drop on Netflix on Netflix globally all at once.
Instead, it’ll be in relation to when the rights to seasons 1-3 become available to Netflix. Some regions as we’ve reported are set to receive the show by the end of 2021.
Netflix US and Canada will debut the new season first (which is expected in late 2022) with any other regions that pick up the shows first three seasons this year.
In terms of when production begins, it’s tentatively been scheduled for November or December 2021. In an interview with EW, Rake said the following:
“I’m hopeful that cameras are rolling in November or December latest. We’re going to work as fast as we can while still keeping an eye on quality control, because we want to get episodes to everyone as soon as possible. We also want them to be excellent. It might take a minute for a brand-new batch of episodes to show up in people’s homes, but it’s going to be worth the wait.”
Where is Manifest Season 4 in Production?
Since the show was renewed in August 2021, the writer’s room has been hard at work to prep scripts.
In early October 2021, we got word that production was scheduled to begin in November 2021. It’ll be filmed entirely in New York again with much of the production taking place at Silver Cup Studios.
Pre-production started in October 2021 with Empire State Grips posting that they were beginning to prepare for filming with an Instagram post with the caption “We are doing a thing again.”
On November 18th, the first picture from the set of Manifest was released by Jeff Rake who confirmed that the show was back.
That’s all we have, for now. We’d recommend giving the official Twitter account for Manifest a follow for updates by the minute. We’d also recommend following @Manifesters_ on Twitter who are doing an awesome job of keeping up to every update regarding the show.
