From NBC to Netflix: Manifest’s “turbulent” journey to the audience’s hearts
Imagine if a plane vanishes in the middle of the air before it reappears years later with all the people on board unharmed. This is the basic concept of the supernatural thriller Manifest, which hooked viewers with its intriguing mix of mystery, turmoil within the family, and futuristic elements. The course of the show reflected the chaos that it portrayed on television. After making its NBC debut in 2018, Manifest gained a loyal fan following despite significant obstacles. A strong fan campaign helped the programme find its new home on Netflix in spite of threats of cancellation. By making this change, Manifest was able to make its final trip and provide a satisfactory resolution to the questions that had gripped the viewers for so long.
