Sometimes the best-laid plans go awry. That's what the writing team behind Manifest have discovered – the series has been canceled on a huge cliffhanger.
Manifest, which centers on a group of airline passengers who return after being presumed dead for five years following a crash, was originally envisioned as a six-season series. However, NBC has called time on the show following the season 3 finale, which saw one main character die, two central characters return but significantly aged, and then an even stranger cliffhanger moment (which we won't spoil, it's only been a week since it aired as of writing).
Showrunner Jeff Rake wrote a message to fans on Twitter, saying he was "devastated" by the news. "I’m devastated by NBC's decision to cancel us," he writes. "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."
The cast included Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, and J. R. Ramirez. There are currently 42 episodes available – and it's up to another network or streamer to decide whether there will be more. In the meantime, be sure to check out the best Netflix shows currently streaming.
