![]() There is also support from cast members, as star Josh Dallas tweeted the article without comment. Incidentally, they’re talking to both existing show writers and prospective new ones.ĭeadline reports, however, that these talks are “in the home stretch,” so there’s some good news. At the same time, WBTV is talking to the cast and writers. Netflix is in talks with Warner Bros TV, for example. So right now, everything is still in the negotiating stage. And with this show, there’s already some baggage in the form of complicated international distribution rights. Moving a show from a network to Netflix is no easy task, though. As they point out, “ Manifest logged four consecutive finishes atop the Nielsen weekly streaming ratings and a record six-week streak of more than 1 billion minutes viewed.” ( Nielsen itself reports that folks have watched over 2.5 billion minutes of the show, btw.) So I guess Netflix heard a calling and it turned out to be a lot of people watching the show. (You know, the one with the giant image that starts autoplaying the trailer when you start the app or visit the site.)Īctually, Deadline attributes the turnaround to both of those factors. In fact, when I visited the website to check, it was the banner show. At the time of this writing, for instance, it’s number 8 in TV shows. Maybe it’s because even two months later, Manifest continues to kick around the Netflix top 10 list. Perhaps it’s because of the #SaveManifest campaign that fans launched. At that point, WBTV, the studio home of the show, believed the show was as good as dead. That’s further, irony, though, because Netflix already passed on the show in June. It appears the streamer noticed, though, because they’re now in the middle of talks with Warner Bros TV, according to Deadline. Namely, it came when the show was dominating the viewing chart at Netflix. ![]() ![]() Manifest Season 4 Talks Spurred By Ratings BoostĪs I mentioned in that post about Manifest‘s cancellation, the news came at an ironic time. Netflix is reportedly in negotiations with the cast and the writers to make Manifest season 4. As the first two seasons are on Netflix, that seemed like the most likely contender. However, as with other canceled shows, with cancellation came rumblings about the show being picked up somewhere else. Well, it looks like the news that Manifest is canceled may be grossly exaggerated.
