As a seasoned film enthusiast who has seen more than my fair share of shows coming and going, I must admit that the prospect of a Manifest spin-off has me intrigued and slightly skeptical. Don’t get me wrong; I was part of the vocal fandom that fought for more episodes after the original cancelation, and I thoroughly enjoyed the well-crafted conclusion of Season 4 on Netflix.
Enthusiasts of “Manifest” can look forward to potentially seeing more of the show as a spin-off is being actively developed on Netflix, according to creator Jeff Rake. The rollercoaster ride of this contemporary take on the “Lost”-esque fantasy-mystery series may have left some viewers thinking it was all over, but Rake’s recent announcement might come as a pleasant surprise. When it first aired on NBC, “Manifest” enjoyed great success with the mystery surrounding Flight 828, but the tale seemed to have reached its end when the show was canceled after three seasons. However, Netflix stepped in and gave creator Jeff Rake the opportunity to wrap up the story with an extended 20-episode fourth season. Although that concluded the main storyline, Rake has hinted that a spin-off series is still being worked on, promising fans they’ll get to continue the journey if it comes to fruition.
On his Twitter, Rake hinted at the Manifest fanbase with a suggestion that a definitive “go-ahead” hasn’t been given yet, but behind the scenes, they’re tirelessly working to produce an exceptional sequel series for us all. Here’s the post you might be interested in:
It’s no secret that the supporters of Manifest are known for their vocal enthusiasm regarding the series. Their passionate response to the initial cancellation helped lead to Netflix picking up Season 4. Now, with Rake hinting at a potential storyline for another season, it seems only a matter of time before #ManifestSpinoff becomes a trending topic on social media until someone finally agrees – after all, that’s just how things usually go, isn’t it?
Manifest Delivered a More Satisfying Conclusion Than a Beginning
Unlike another popular mystery series about a vanished flight and its occupants, Manifest didn’t resonate with everyone upon its initial airing in 2018. The show introduced viewers to the passengers of Montego Air Flight 828, who miraculously return after an arduous trip to find out that five years have passed. While the world and their loved ones had presumably moved on, assuming them dead, these travelers’ second shot at life takes a darker turn when they start to realize they share an unusual bond with each other and experience enigmatic “callings” that appear to be guiding them towards a greater destiny.
Initially, the first season of this series received a Tomatometer score of 56% and a Popcornmeter score of 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, which might have suggested that the show’s popularity wouldn’t sustain it to conclude its narrative. Nevertheless, both Season 2 and Season 3 managed to retain audience appreciation ratings. Critics, however, seemed indifferent towards the series until it was made available on Netflix with Season 4. Remarkably, it earned a staggering 88% score from 8 reviews then.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at how powerfully Rake wrapped up its storyline in 2018, leaving both critics and viewers captivated. It was clear that Netflix made the right decision in allowing this series to conclude its tale. The strong reception suggests there’s an appetite for more, yet reviving Flight 828’s story could be a risky endeavor, given how perfectly Rake tied up all loose ends. However, I have full faith that if he decides to continue the series, it will live up to its legacy and have us fans eagerly awaiting our next flight with our boarding passes in hand.
