When Manifest first premiered on NBC in 2018, the story of a plane disappearing and coming back after five and a half years, with the passengers not aging a day, captivated audiences. After three seasons, however, the network sunk the “Lifeboat,” and the Callings seemed to be over. However, Netflix answered prayers and saved Manifest for one final season. With only 20 episodes to finish off a story that was initially supposed to have six seasons total, the Death Date came sooner than expected, and there was no way of knowing just what exactly the ending had in store to wrap up Flight 828’s biggest mysteries. The Manifest series finale offers closure for not only the characters but the fans.
The ending is also a full-circle moment that takes us back to the very first episode and not only closes a door but opens another one that has endless possibilities. Thanks to Netflix, the story was able to both have closure and the potential for even more stories.
