Stephen King Criticizes Manifest’s Writing Ahead Of Netflix Revival
Prolific author Stephen King criticizes Manifest's sloppy writing ahead of the show's upcoming season 4 revival on Netflix. Created by Jeff Rake, the supernatural drama premiered on NBC in 2018, following the crew and passengers of a commercial airliner who suddenly disappear and are presumed dead, only to mysteriously return five and a half years later. Manifest has been the subject of much attention ever since it was canceled back in June 2021 due to declining ratings, which inspired a passionate fan campaign on social media from those who wanted to see the show come back and tie up loose ends.
Fans finally got their wish when Netflix picked up Manifest for a fourth and final season, which will consist of 20 episodes. Much of the original cast will return and reprise their roles, including Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Parveen Kaur, Holly Taylor, and Daryl Edwards. Despite some uncertainty surrounding Matt Long's return as Zeke Landon, it was later revealed he has rejoined the cast. Other than its returning cast and possible November release date, not much is known about Manifest season 4 in the way of plot details.
