Netflix Just Released a Sneak Peek of ‘Manifest’ Season 4—and We Already Have So Many Questions
Calling all Manifest fans! After months of waiting, Netflix has just released an exclusive sneak peek from the fourth and final season of the supernatural drama. Even with this new teaser clip, every fan has one question on their mind: When is season four coming out? Here’s what we know so far.
1. Is there a trailer for Manifest Season 4?
Well…sorta kinda. During Netflix Geeked Week, actor Josh Dallas (who plays Ben Stone in Manifest) introduced the clip from the final season, which will be split into two parts with 10 episodes each. The teaser starts with Michaela Stone (played by Melissa Roxburgh) sneaking into the docks—where she dons an NYPD hat and a yellow/orange construction vest—presumably following a Calling.
She is looking for “cherry blossoms,” and finds them on the side of a container. As she enters the storage unit, Michaela makes a grim discovery. There is an unidentified man, groaning in pain, with the words “STONE 828” carved inside his arm. The clip ends with Michaela looking stunned and at a loss for words. (Now THAT was intense.)
2. When was Manifest renewed for a fourth season?
Last summer, it was confirmed that Manifest was renewed for a fourth and final season. Better yet, Netflix ordered a whopping 20 more episodes for the new installment.
The series creator, Jeff Rake, released a press statement that read: “What started years ago as a flight of fancy deep in my imagination has evolved into the jet engine journey of a lifetime. Never in my wildest dreams could I have envisioned the worldwide outpouring of love and support for this story, its characters, and the team who work so hard to bring it all to life.”
He continued, “That we will be able to reward the fans with the ending they deserve moves me to no end. On behalf of the cast, the crew, the writers, directors, and producers, thank you to Netflix, Warner Bros., and of course to the fans. You did this.”
3. Wait, wasn’t the series canceled?
Yes, it was actually. NBC announced that season three will be the show’s last back in 2021. However, we first heard rumors that the series might return just one month after when a source close to the drama revealed to Entertainment Weekly that they were “working on a number of things.”
In fact, when the cancellation news was first announced, Rake assured disappointed fans that he was trying to find a new home for future installments. “My dear Manifesters, I’m devastated by NBC’s decision to cancel us,” he wrote on Twitter. “That we’ve been shut down in the middle is a gut punch, to say the least. Hoping to find a new home. You the fans deserve an ending to your story. Thanks for the love shown to me, cast, and crew. #savemanifest.”
After endless fan messages (and the online campaign to #SaveManifest), his wish finally came true. The series was later picked up by Netflix for one final season.
4. What is Manifest?
If you’re unfamiliar, the hit NBC show tells the mysterious story of a group of passengers, who board a flight that lands five years in the future. The 191 travelers return to a world that is quite different from the one they left behind.
5. Who’s in it?
The cast includes Melissa Roxburgh ( Star Trek Beyond ), Josh Dallas (Once Upon a Time), Athena Karkanis (Saw VI), J.R. Ramirez (Jessica Jones), Luna Blaise (Fresh Off the Boat), Jack Messina (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and Parveen Kaur (Beyond). And it seems like most of the cast is set to return.
6. When is Manifest Season 4 airing on Netflix?
Unfortunately, the teaser clip didn’t reveal an official release date. All we know is that the fourth season is “coming soon” to Netflix, as shown in the teaser clip. But, when that information becomes available, you’ll be the first to know.
