'Manifest' Works Its Way Back Into Netflix's Top 10

A sci-fi thriller has made itself very popular over on Netflix, and now the second half of its final season has landed quite successfully on the platform's Top Ten. Manifest, the series about survivors of a very bizarre plane incident, is finally tying up all the loose ends as fans are desperate to see what has really been going on this whole time.

The series follows the Stone family after half of them took a delayed flight to save a little money and wound up landing five years later, unchanged, unaged, and completely unaware that any time had passed. If that wasn't odd enough, all the passengers start getting "callings" that lead them to situations that always seem connected. There is a greater power at work here and Ben Stone (Josh Dallas), his sister Detective Michaela Stone, and the rest of his family are determined to find out what that is as a more final destination looms.

The twists and turns in the show as well as the compelling premise have kept fans hooked, and now that the final season has premiered on Netflix, fans are desperate for answers. They almost didn't get any when the show, which originally aired on NBC was canceled after three seasons in 2021, much to the dismay of fans. Those seasons were then bought by Netflix, and did so well on the platform, quickly topping the charts, that Netflix decided to give the series its final season.

The fourth season was given to us super-sized, with 20 episodes in total that were to be spread out over time. The first 10 episodes were released back in November last year, and the final 10 were released onto the platform on June 2. For those who know the show, this was an extremely appropriate date, though perhaps a year early, but hey, they didn't want to keep us waiting!

The final season has been watched a total of 39.4 million hours between May 29 and June 4, coming in second on the Global Top Ten, just under the Arnold Schwarznegger-led series, FUBAR which was watched a total of 88 million hours. Fans have been thrilled to see its return and get some closure, including some rather famous lovers of mystery such as Stephen King, who tweeted how happy he was to have the show back.

This is the end of the runway for the sci-fi series though and hopefully, fans will not be left disappointed by the big reveal, if there even is one! You can catch all seasons including the fourth and final season on Netflix now.
