Even though Manifest started out with ratings that were sky high, those numbers quickly dropped along with the show’s creativity in my opinion. Therefore, it is kind of surprising that NBC picked up the show for a second season when they have so many other stronger shows that were already picked up.
Manifest joins The Blacklist, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago PD, Good Girls, The Good Place, Law & Order: SVU, New Amsterdam, Superstore and Will & Grace on the 2019-2020 schedule. Missing from that list is This Is Us, but I am sure it will be back for a fourth season. If not, then fans of the show will send NBC execs on a 5-year plane ride.
